Linda Perhacs is a California-based singer/songwriter whose first - and for
decades, only - album, "Parallelograms", is regarded as a psych-folk
masterpiece, highly influential among songwriters including Opeth's Mikael
Akerfeldt, Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and many others. Perhacs was a
purposeful but very private songwriter living on Topanga Canyon Boulevard
and working as a dental hygienist when Grammy- and Emmy-winning composer
Leonard Rosenman (Rebel Without a Cause and Barry Lyndon) walked into her
office for an appointment.
After ten more, he inquired about what she did with her spare time. She
revealed only then that she was a songwriter. He asked to hear what she
wrote, and was impressed when he did. He arranged a record deal for her
with Kapp, a Universal subsidiary, hired the players (including drummer
Shelly Manne), and produced the recording sessions that resulted in
"Parallelograms".
Perhacs' cult favorite "Parallelograms" instantly evokes the spare and
isolated feel of the songs and the production on Joni Mitchell's first
albums, particularly her debut (largely solo acoustic) - not to mention the
melodies, guitar playing, and singing. It's not a photocopy, however; it's
hard to imagine Mitchell singing 'I'm spacing out, I'm seeing silences
between leaves', as Perhacs does on "Chimacum Rain", unless Mitchell got
spiked with acid right before getting on-stage. In addition, Perhacs is
adept at dropping unusual effects and arrangements into the mix, that on
occasion have a mildly disquieting and psychedelic vibe.
Back to "Chimacum Rain", for example: double-tracked voices get into a
slightly hypnotic, disorienting swirl, and suddenly move into a
half-chanted section with doomy background notes from hard-to-identify
instruments. "Parallelograms" is a round-like vocal (again with multi-track
voices), consisting of exactly eight words, that without warning goes into
creepy washes of electronically distorted voices, flutes, and rattles. Not
all of the record is unusual, though; much of it's just attractively
wistful, moody singer/songwriter folk, sometimes with an engaging folk-jazz
backup, sometimes just with a guitar, sometimes enlivened by creative
smudges of organ and electric guitar.
Remastered at Hiltongrove Studios, August 2008 and released by Sunbeam
Records on CD and vinyl featuring eight bonus tracks.
