Lost Gem
One of the most pleasant discoveries I have made recently came from the soundtrack to Daft Punk's Electroma, which we posted about recently - Linda Perhacs "If you were my man" is a thing of haunting beauty and works perfectly with the shots of desert dunes in the film.
But Linda herself is a fascinating story as well, having produced her one and only album, Parallelograms, in the 70s, which was released to complete indifference, and led her to continue her day job as a dental assistant... until it was unearthed, first in 2003, with a release from a Vinyl version, which was pretty much unlistenable, and then more recently, when she came out of her dental practise with the original reels in her hands.
Throughout the album, she has one foot in folk, and the rest of her body and mind in the kind of psychedelia you would normally not have expected from the West Coast, at least not the West Coast of the US.
It has been featured on Kieran Fourtet's "Late Night Tales" and Andy Votel's "Folk is not a Four Letter Word", so you might have heard her already. And she is working on new songs, which will be interesting to hear.
Get the album while you can.
