Product Description

CD Description

* Until now, the magical records of Swedish singer-songwriter Turid
have largely been a secret outside the Scandinavian world. Between
1971 and 1975 she made three bewitching, mysterious and fragile
albums for the key Swedish independent label Silence that established
her as the country's leading alternative female voice. Drawing from
these rare albums and mastered by Silence s award winning Anders
Lind, Stars and Angels: Songs, 1971-75 compiles the best of what she
wrote and performed during this fertile period and will finally establish
Turid as an important voice for an era when songwriters were at their
most expressive.
* Although Turid has been compared with Joni Mitchell and Melanie, she
was closer in spirit to Vashti and Linda Perhacs all female singersongwriters
with their own style, their own take on the world. Which is
why recently-coined genres like acid folk and psych folk have been
invented to describe artists as unique as Turid.
* Beginning with the crystalline Song , Stars and Angels: Songs, 1971-
75 journeys through the disquieting Play Macabre and the psychedelic
eddies of Låt Mig Se Dig ( Let Me See You ), an epic song with
electric guitar by Swedish legend Kenny Håkansson (T-Boones, Baby
Grandmothers, Mecki Mark Men, Kebnekajse) that presages the intense
moods of Mazzy Star. Crtics have also drawn comparison with Joanna
Newsom. Whether singing in English or Swedish, Turid captivates like a
siren s spell.

First release for a Turid album outside Sweden
Digitally re-mastered by original labels award winning
engineer
A must have for today s acid and psych folk fans and
buyers of Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Swedish Folk 14 July 2010
By OMG! It's got a plug! TOP 500 REVIEWER
This compilation comprises 16 of the 32 songs to be found on Swedish folk songstress Turid Lundqvist's three albums (Vittras Visor, Bilder and Tredje Dagen) recorded for Sweden's Silence label between 1971 and 1975. Although vocally similar(ish) to Joni Mitchell, this is folk of the acid & psych variety that has drawn comparison to Melanie, Linda Perhacs and, more latterly, Joanna Newsom.

However, Lundqvist had her own thing going on. Predominantly sung in Swedish, this coupled with Lundqvist lush vocals, lends an almost dream like quality to the songs. The melodies, arrangements and musicianship throughout are of the highest order and Lundqvist wrote or co-wrote most of the songs. Highlights, and there are many, include 'Tom i Bollen' with its shimmering mandolin and the sublime 'Låt Mig Se Di' - an eight minute psych folk epic which features some stunning electric guitar as Lundqvist's vocals drift in and out. Gorgeous.

Largely unknown outside of Sweden, had Lundqvist been born across the Atlantic and sung in English she probably would have sold a lot more records. However, I doubt very much that she would have sounded anywhere near as enchanting. This is quality music and Turid Lundqvist is a compelling talent deserving of a wider audience.
