LILY AND MARIA
Catalogue no: SBRCD / LP 5050


 

New York teenagers Lily Fiszman and Maria Neumann met in 1965 and developed a highly original and distinctive musical style over the following two years, before releasing their sole album in 1968. A compelling combination of stark folk, upbeat pop and acid rock, it is one of the most intense, intimate and beautiful recordings of its era, and has long been established as a cult classic. It makes its long-overdue reissue debut here, complete with rare photos, memorabilia and interviews with both artists (telling their story for the first time), making it an essential purchase for all fans of 1960s acid folk and pop.

"Acoustic guitar is embellished by tasteful, low-key orchestration and electric instruments that add to the appealing, hushed, never-never-land ambience. While the feel is usually laid-back and pretty, there is an overlay of unsettling mystery... those searching for an overlooked acid folk rarity would do well to try hearing this unusual outing" - www.allmusic.com

"An acid folk duo that went totally unnoticed at the time... the album includes several long cuts, all done in a very spooky and mellow way" - Fuzz, Acid & Flowers

"Their voices blend ideally, hitting all of the right spots, each filling in the gaps left by the other... this album sticks with you" - The Acid Archives
