In My Own Time
In 1971, Karen Dalton released In My Own Time - a collection of other people’s songs, made completely her own. The world ignored it. But over time, it became a cult classic.
Folk
Pink Moon
In 1972, Nick Drake released an album with no band, no press, no explanation. Just one voice, one guitar and a sadness so quiet it was almost holy.
Out of Season
In 2002, Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man released a record that is soft, strange and beautiful in its brokenness.
Diamond Mine
In 2011, King Creosote & Jon Hopkins released a quiet masterpiece - part folk songbook, part ambient dream. Diamond Mine is a hushed, heartbreaking study in restraint.
Parallelograms
In 1970, Linda Perhacs introduced us to the sound of psychedelic folk dissolving into a dream. A heady haze of harmony, and the sense of something just out of reach.
