MOTHS
Moths
GUERSSEN / LP
SECTION: PSYCHEDELIC, PROGRESSIVE, FOLK > 60's & 70's
Cat. No. : GUESS137
UK underground hippie acid–folk from 1970, originally released as a micro–pressing of less than 30 copies on the collectable Deroy custom label. Mellow atmosphere with acoustic guitars, flute, bongos, bass and refreshing, sincere vocals. A few self–penned tracks plus some amazing & haunting covers of people like Incredible String Band, David Ackles, Dylan, Tim Buckley, Bert Jansch...
Rated with the maximum rarity on Hans Pokora’s "3001 Record Collecting Dreams". Remastered sound, insert with liner notes and photos. New cover design (the original album came in a plain white sleeve).
"...Enchanting atmosphere and fragrant mellow vibes. Soft vocals, vivid earthy use of bongoes, and haunting flutes possess the LP in its entirety. The vocals throughout are subdued, laid–back beyond mellow...folk lost in a sleepy haze, for the beach on a warm summer’s night...comforting diffused light hazily pulls the listener into dreamscapes where flutes softly cut swathes through mists with doleful but captivating sounds, crystalline clarity of sound...One of the rarest, obscurest UK releases" – Stephen Smith (Progressive Music)
