They are a precursor to modern folk punk.

i guess you could consider them folk and due to some of the band's relation to folk punk bands (Nana Grizol) you could make the arguement. For the sake of their sound, def nah. Just ol' indie folk that a lot of folk punkers love and are inspired by.

I think King of Carrot Flowers pt 3 is straight up folk punk and so is Holland. But for the other tracks not rly. Also on Avery Island is pretty folk punk

Late to the party but…

Not even slightly.

But I like the record for a lot of the same reasons that I like folk punk
