legendary femme acid folk masterpiece available again, now in a jewel box edition;
this an elusive album, difficult to explain, an album that seems to require a couple of listens before its excellence can be fully appreciated;
Korean fuzz guitar master Shin Jung Hyun and his band The Men are the backing band, with their solid presence (and Shin Jung Hyuns guitar) evident throughout, sustaining a spacey west coast psychedelia vibe; every song has a similar tone, yet I would never accuse the music of being too much the same-a neat trick;
if Francoise Hardy is the Marianne Faithful of France, then Kim Jung Mi is, I suppose, the Francoise Hardy of Korea-moody, melancholic, and sexy at the same time.
A random note: one song from this album featured on the Peace, Love and Dreams series-maybe you've heard it, and wondered where to find the album.
