shapes are fun, even linda perhacs agrees.
here's a real treat: Linda Perhacs' "Parallelograms" album. released in 1970 to almost no sales, this album became a "holy grail" of sorts to many over time. hell, it was on my most wanted list before the reissue came out a few years back. this album is very strange by 1970's standards, mostly consisting of Linda's pearlescent voice and spectral guitar, but then things get weird with electronic manipulations and interludes. this album set a course for many out there to follow, a sort of trailblazing path of folk music that hadn't been heard before and has rarely been topped since. do yourself a huge favor and get this.
this is the expanded edition, in case you were wondering. good demo tracks.
