These Trails - 1973 - These Trails


These Trails: "These Trails"
Sinergia, 1973
(Psych Folk)

DOWNLOAD (48.84 MB)

This is the lone LP from 1973 by a Hawaiian group that was privately pressed at the time and largely unknown until a few years back. Mixing frail female vocals, a variety of string instruments, and synthesizer this has a soft, delicate sound that was beautifully recorded. Clarity rings throughout these earthy, organic, spacey, and nearly gothic songs, and this record will most likely leave you wishing there were more albums like this.

Great post! Very unusual, and it's not obvious if the band knew what sound they were aiming for themselves, but the intricate acoustic style is definitely worth hearing. Slightly unsettling music but it works. Thanks!
