Now attracting the interest of larger record labels, Gorky's left Ankst and signed to Fontana Records. Their next album, "Barafundle" (1997), was produced by Gorwel Owen who had also worked with the Super Furry Animals. The wide-ranging instrumentation remained ("Diamond Dew" has a prominent part for the jaw harp) and there were still psychedelic touches, but the album as a whole was more laid back than their earlier work, tending more towards folk music. This gentler direction was largely maintained and refined in their later records, though the occasional poppier and rockier number, such as "Poodle Rockin'" from "Spanish Dance Troupe" or "Mow the Lawn" from "Sleep/Holiday", continued to crop up.
