Are there any Medieval / Renaissance inspired bands worth anyone's time?

What's the opinion on Fleet Foxes... they seem to emulate baroque harmonies in several of their songs. I had other things in mind when starting the thread but they could fit the bill.

I remember being fond of Ataraxia and Dead Can Dance when I was younger, although in retrospect they took too much refuge in darkwave and new age for their own good.

Serpent's Egg by Dead Can Dance is good medieval stuff, and bits of Aion. The rest is a bit goth heavy (though still good)

i kind of hate the idea of fleet foxes, but i like a handful of their songs -- a lot.

Moka, I'm guessing you're familiar with Mago de Oz!

I could name a lot of renaissance/early music ensembles but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Gryphon seconded. Crumhorns!

Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple is pretty much only making this kind of music now. I haven't heard it and don't really know if it is a good "renaissance style" band or not.

Does Steeleye Span count?

― underneath the moon and the stars (Whitey on the Moon),

Yeah sure! They're pretty popular in latinamerica... even saw them once live. They were really fun... although I dont know why I was expecting them to dress in medieval fashion and instead they went onstage as some sort of drag queens and sailors. Go figure.

Moka, Friday, 16 July 2010 05:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh yes I used the 'go figure' phrasing wrong up there didn't I? Meant to say I was utterly confused by it.

The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud. It's... well, it's a bit scary, but amazing.

This band deserves a lot better. I can't stop listening to the Early Music Consort's version of this song.
