The girl interviewing David gives the viewer a short introduction to the sound on Folklore and then it begins.

David Eugene Edwards about Folklore: "Even more important than the songs themselves, it's more the people that the songs come from and the places that the songs come from. The choice of the actual song was kind of a secondary thing, it's just …, you know. Basically giving respect and admiration to the people that really inspired our music and helped us to be where we are as far as what we create. The songs that we chose were songs that we liked for whatever reason. It really just kind of happened beyond our control that they worked really well together."

David: "Traditional music in Europe is much richer, just because it's been around for so much longer. Folk music in America has only been around for a hundred or so years. Well, more than that I guess but... So we have less to draw from in America as far as our own history of music... and... It's very strong, but it's not as deep and not as rich, and not as... wide spread."

Interviewer: "Some people say that this is your darkest album yet, would you agree on that?"
David: "Well the covers black."
Jean-Yves Tola: "Yeah, that's it."
David: "But I think that, more than anything, [laughs] that is gives that impression, and I really believe that in this case …. You know when you see a black record, you automatically …, you know. It's like... Back in black! AC/DC! [laughs] I think that that just automatically puts you in a state of mind that's gonna be a dark record. Of course our music is very melancholic a lot of the time, so it's understandable that people think that. But no. Not by any stretch of imagination is it our darkest record."
