Trailer Park

by Beth Orton

The 3770th greatest album of all time

Trailer Park, released in 1996 by Beth Orton, blends acoustic folk songwriting with downtempo electronic production and soft rock sensibilities. The album pairs hushed, emotive vocals and fingerpicked guitar with subtle beats, loops and ambient textures to create an intimate, melancholic atmosphere. It is often cited as an early example of folktronica, bringing singer-songwriter craft into conversation with electronic elements.
