Songs of Leonard Cohen
In 1967, Leonard Cohen released 'Songs of Leonard Cohen'. A hushed, poetic debut that felt both timeless and entirely out of time. Full of whispered intimacies, spiritual longing and romance.
Folk
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.
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.
