Linda Perhacs – Parallelograms, Blue Vinyl LP

Linda Perhacs’ debut is a unique, psychedelic folk masterpiece that remained largely undiscovered upon its initial release in 1970. Its eventual reissue in 1998 allowed the album to gain the recognition it deserved. The music is a haunting mix of folk and experimental psychedelia, with Perhacs’ intricate, multi-tracked vocals and cosmic arrangements creating a sound both intimate and otherworldly. Songs like ‘Chimacum Rain’ explore nature and sensuality, while the title track layers geometric lyrics and lush soundscapes to evoke a mystical, transcendent experience. Her ability to blend experimental techniques with folk sensibilities places her alongside the greats of the era, offering a deeply personal, unforgettable journey into sound that remains a timeless gem.
