Right before we forget this folk thing and start listening to processing again, what about Turid?

Yes what about Turid

and better yet, if one where to name some folk singers, the first three being Vashti, Linda, and Turid - who would the rest be?

ie. Search and Destroy - 70s Female Acid Folk Singers the World Over

go!

maybe a little out of bounds, but you have hissing of the summer lawns then, right?

holy fuck man, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is such a freaked out album.

also, Linda Perhacs. i just bought it a few weeks ago. very beautiful, trippy production

what is this Turid? amg has nothing

JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 22 July 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, oops oh my. you're talking linda perhacs in the first post, eh?

JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 22 July 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

howabout some Francoise Hardy?

JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 22 July 2004 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

uh. douji morita? though it's technically psych with folk influences, the woman from axe (search: "here to there") had a lovely voice. most of the other ones i'm thinking of are groups.

definitely not karen dalton... good lord are people getting hyped about nothing on that.

and yeah, that turid collection is beautiful. hope they come to their senses and do some complete reissues.

el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Thursday, 22 July 2004 09:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yea, Turid

A Swedish Linda Perhacs or Vashti Bunyan, they just did reisues on Stockholm's Silence label (the same guys who did the Parson Sound/Harvester/Trad, Gras och Stenar releases, which may i add are FUCKING AWESOME)

I first heard about her existence from Lucas Moodyson's film Together about a hippie commune in the suburbs, but forget her name for two years until i chanced upon the reissue on the Silence Website. Beautiful voice, mostly in Swedish - as they said, 'you can't understand what the hell she is talking about but you sure as hell will like to hear her sing about it'

And i dunno, Karen Dalton is good, but very different. I'm not to sure, i think this whole thing came from Devendra Banhart saying his three favourite artist were Vashti, Linda and Karen in recent interviews. Perhaps the cause of this recent hype?

The album I Retur is like a compilation from her three albums. Like Linda Perhacs, she completely disappeared from music after those albums. Since this folk thing got started again, people are wondering, like Vashti, whether or not she'll surface again, and perhaps turn up on a record like Rejoicing in the Hands or something

didn't know devendra had cast his sainted gaze upon dalton, but that would explain it - the press hype for the (really stunningly dull) white magic album also namechecked it if i recall.

when i put out my folk album, it's all gonna be about linda rich's "patterns."
