    Most bardcore artists out there are just doing it digitally. I'm not saying they're not good, or talented... but there's a lot more to be said about 1 guy playing 10 different instruments, and mastering it all together.
    Algal is the absolute GOAT!

      Indeed. When I first grew interested in this genre, I was baffled by how many search results I was getting. And then they were all digital music. Nobody really does it like Algal the Legendary Bard.

    Just imagining a lone warrior on horseback galloping across the land, the wind gently kissing his flesh as he sets out on some quest. Reflections of himself and what he must do can almost be heard echoing from the corners of his mind through the hills and forests like the calls of wildlife. I love beautiful music like this that lets my imagination run free, nicely done!
