Indra Allen was born in Washington and in 1973 released a beautiful album called Loner. The album is comprised of 17 songs that are moody, mellow and the lyrics carry a punch of sarcasm and wit that makes the album relevant to today’s standards.
Loner is a unique blend of psychedelic folk that may be off-key at times but shows playfulness and competence at the same time, making it an interesting and important album of femme folk in the 1970’s.
Not much is researchable on Indra Allen on the internet, but it is confirmed that she also published a magazine called Musica during the 70’s about women’s music. Some of those publications are available here: https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/items/show/549
The album is extremely rare and the few available are sold by extremely high prices. Hoping there will be a reissue soon.
E ainda:
Debut EP from american duo Origami Angel released in 2017. Mellow songs that are delicate and introspective, a sophisticated yet very subtle kind of emo. The lyrics are melancholic and often engaged in what it means to stand and fit in this world.
The duo went on to make bolder and tinged pop punk with some screamo elements in the subsequent releases.
Heartfelt and vibrant soul with psychedelic tinges by Curtis Harding. A solid set of songs about everyday life hardships, love and family retaining the classic 70’s sweet soul sound. Top notch musicianship all around and a true contemporary soul classic.
