Dark country is a genre of music that combines elements of traditional country and folk music with darker, gothic themes and instrumentation. It is often characterized by its haunting melodies, sparse instrumentation, and brooding lyrics that touch on themes such as love, loss, death, and redemption.

Dark country music often features acoustic guitars, banjos, and other traditional country instruments, as well as unconventional instrumentation such as cellos, violins, and even synthesizers. The music is often slow and melancholic, with a focus on creating a moody and atmospheric sound that evokes a sense of foreboding or unease.
