These tracks are recent playlist staples I’m pretty stoked on. Both are on the mellow side: “Pearlie’s Swine” by Steve Kuhn is initially reserved before slowly building into this dreamlike, chaotic ending. And it’s barely over a minute long.
“English Sparrows” by Paul Parrish is folky, psych-rock with some real lush apexes. The Donovan-like vocals get by because the melodies and harmonies are so nice. Supposedly, Dennis Coffey did arrangments on the album. Everything about this—the strings, the flute, the guitar work—is put together real proper.
These songs come courtesy of Maurice Lee, a Bay Area collector who runs one of my favorite blogs at the moment, Out At Sea. Dig the site’s minimal, somewhat cryptic steez and the outstanding song selection.
