Linda Perhacs' debut is a unique, psychedelic folk masterpiece that remained largely undiscovered upon its initial release in 1970. Its eventual reissue in 1998 allowed the album to gain the recognition it deserved. The music is a haunting mix of folk and experimental psychedelia, with Perhacs' intricate, multi-tracked vocals and cosmic arrangements creating a sound both intimate and otherworldly. Songs like 'Chimacum Rain' explore nature and sensuality, while the title track layers geometric lyrics and lush soundscapes to evoke a mystical, transcendent experience. While some moments, like 'Porcelain Baked-Over Cast-Iron Wedding', introduce some experimentalism, the album's strength lies in its more straightforward, emotionally charged tracks such as 'Paper Mountain Man', The work stands as a singular example to Perhacs' visionary talents, capturing the psychedelic experience in a way few artists could. Her ability to blend experimental techniques with folk sensibilities places her alongside the greats of the era, offering a deeply personal, unforgettable journey into sound that remains a timeless gem.
