And now for something completely different. Linda Perhacs is a folk chanteuse from the good old US of A. She uses different modal tunings for each song with a gently plucked steel stringed guitar as the notes are more resonant. She also has the voice of an angel and it's a voice that you don't tire of hearing. Her music seems like it was a cathartic experience to produce as she says in the copious liner notes. This is proper San Francisco late 60s flower power music in the vein of Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez. A fabulous multi-layered, sprawling folk opus that is an emotional listen. Some of the songs are amazing and you can really lose yourself in the sublime story telling. She spins many a fine and interesting tale and the quality of the songwriting is superb. Every song on this record is like a romance. The sound of a great woman making great music. This album is a must own. Come bathe in the glorious waters of Linda Perhacs for you will feel refreshed and emotionally moved beyond expectation.
Linda Perhacs is an American psychedelic folk singer, who released her only album Parallelograms in 1970 to scant notice or sales.[1] The album was rediscovered by record enthusiasts and grew in popularity with the rise of the New Weird America movement and the Internet.
Her songs have been featured in soundtracks to many films, most recently and notably in Daft Punk's Electroma. Perhacs also sang backing vocals on "Freely" from Devendra Banhart's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon and features in Prefuse 73's track "Rain Edit" (Interlude) from the album Surrounded by Silence. Encouraged by the newfound attention to her work, she has reportedly recorded two new albums with Ben Watt as of 2007.
