“Colour Green” (full album) (2006) by Sibylle Baier

When I want something peaceful to listen to, Baier is one of the first artists I generally turn to. She is originally from Germany, but currently resides in Massachusetts. These songs had quite a delay between the time they were recorded (1970-1973) and when they were actually released ten years ago.

Perhaps the simplistic beauty of the album comes from the fact that she wasn’t writing these songs to share with the world but rather just to fulfill her own desires. Modesty can breed grandeur. If it weren’t for her son Robby’s eagerness to share her music, the world may never have gotten a taste of this masterpiece. Robby gifted a copy to Dinosaur Jr’s J. Mascis, who in turn passed it onto the label Orange Twin.

Baier is currently working on her second album. At least she was in 2008… Listen to one of the new songs at her official site (scroll all the way down).
