Linda Perhacs released an album in 1970 called Parallelograms, then more or less disappeared, as did the album. Over the years, though, it became a cult favorite. I picked it up a couple years ago after reading some glowing reviews, and I like it a lot. Singer-songwriter stuff, kind of folky, with a unique spacy/psychedelic feel. Now she's releasing the follow-up, 44 years later.

I reviewed this 1970 album for her record company in 2004 for a reissue. It is very folky much the same as Joni Mitchell type of music. Surprised it has taken her this long to do a new album.

Wow, thanks for the tip guys. Never heard of her before, just played the clips from Parallelograms here, wow:

Editorial Reviews
Linda's sole album, originally released on Kapp in 1970, has gained its deserved fame and reputation in the folk-psych scene in the last years after the NY label Wild Places released it on CD format some few years ago. We could talk about Joni Mitchell and the likes if we had to compare with anything, but fans of folk music in all its variety must be delighted with this amazing album, a truly hippie psychedelic folk masterpiece and without any doubt one of the top albums of the genre. This beauty was reissued on vinyl a few years ago in Korea as well, in a 500 pieces limited pressing that sold out instantly...and we believe this one MUST be available unlimited so here we come with a gorgeous, tremendous sounding reissue of the legendary album plus 2 bonus tracks (exactly like the Korean release), a poster and an insert.

Suddenly Kate Bush seems downright prolific.

So we should expect a followup from The La's in 2034....

Spotifying Parallelograms now. I like it. Can't imagine why it didn't succeed.
