Linda Perhacs

"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. The album was rediscovered by record enthusiasts and grew in popularity with the rise of the New Weird America movement and the Internet. It was reissued on CD and 2-LP in 2005, and again in 2008. Her songs have been featured in soundtracks to many films including Daft Punk's Electroma. Perhacs also sang backing vocals on "Freely" from Devendra Banhart's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon and features in Prefuse 73's track "Rain Edit (Interlude)" from the album Surrounded by Silence. In December 2013, Asthmatic Kitty Records announced the March 2014 release of Perhacs' second record The Soul of All Natural Things. The album was recorded in 2012 and 2013 with co-producers Fernando Perdomo and Chris Price. Other collaborators on the album include Julia Holter and Ramona Gonzalez of Nite Jewel. The Soul of All Natural Things was released on March 4, 2014.
