I'm really liking the Luv'd Ones, Three Degrees, London Phogg, and Reparata tracks — I think the Luv'd ones come closest to the droning sort of harmonies I'm looking for. Margo Guryan was one of the most sophisticated pop songwriters of the '60s, but vocal harmonies weren't really her strong point, imho.

glad you like the luv'd ones. there's another song that sounds almost exactly like them that comes up on shuffle on my itunes all of the time but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. it's driving me nuts.
― wk, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
does the song have no identifying info even though it's in your itunes? weird.
I downloaded the Luv'd Ones collection years ago but never gave it much attention for some reason, but the tracks you posted have convinced me to give them another listen. the fuzz guitar solo in "You'll Never Know" is intense!
― second geir, lean right (little hongro hongro go faster faster) (unregistered), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 16:00 (eleven years ago) link

Hmm.. I can't do links but my song suggestions:
"This bird" by Michaelangelo - post-psych folk with autoharp."Of broken links" by These Trails - curious Hawaiian folk, very haunting."Reverend sisters" or "Sheep season" by Mellow Candle, lovely English acid-folk."Morning way" by Trader Horne, spooked folk from ex-Them and Fairport alumni.
Sorry if I'm a bit obvious. Or maybe I'm not, I don't know.

Oh, seeing as you mentioned The Carousel I'll mention Red Chair Fadeaway, another splinter from the same band (C86 bowlcut boys Razorcuts) whose folk pop harmonies on early singles and album "Curiouser and curiouser" were seriously out of step with what was going on in the early 90s.

Esperanza Encantada were a trio of siblings who released one album in 1970 - half covers, mostly sung in Spanish, with some local pick-up band. I know nothing else other than it was released by Centron in Nashville and I absolutely love it.

the echo effect in the outro is a nice touch. I just hope she got a songwriting credit for Steppenwolf's 'Rock Me Baby' a few years later, because they're basically the same song. Dusty Springfield's recording of Norma's 'No Stranger Am I' is beautiful (just hearing it for the first time now).

yeah, I'm big fan of their first two singles and the first side of Curiouser and Curiouser. it's funny how they sound almost nothing like The Razorcuts or any other contemporary indiepop groups — twee + psych-folk seems like such an obvious combination in retrospect. "My Brother's Room" is probably my favorite song of theirs.

this Third Wave album is pretty good...like a loungier Wendy & Bonnie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZUYcrOYrC8
Third Wave was a pop jazz vocal group consisting of 5 teenage Filipino sisters from California that was discovered by funky keybordist and long time Zappa collaborator George Duke. Duke brought the sisters over to Germany in 1970, where he produced and recorded the album "Here and Now" for German label MPS.

Read up a little bit on Norma--Wikipedia says she and Dusty were in a relationship for a while, and that Springfield recorded a number of her songs.
I love where she laughs in that clip at the 1:29 mark. Hard to know what she's laughing at--maybe at the idea of lip-synching (seems to be identical to the recorded version). Great line: "People always live and die in 4/4 time."

" .412 is not your name" ???
― macklemore looks something like you (unregistered), Saturday, 19 July 2014 20:50 (nine years ago) link
I hear that as "'Point forward to' is not your name." Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.
― clemenza, Saturday, 19 July 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link
dunno, I hear "four-one-two" pretty clearly. I guess it's an "I am not a number, I am a free man" thing, which makes sense within the context of the song (but why the decimal?)

We were talking about xpost Honey Ltd.'s Complete Recordings on the Lee Hazelwood thread: finally released last year, by Light In The Attic (some killer HL tracks and a couple by their country-pop reincarnation as Eve, minus one voice but just as devastating, are on There's A Dream I've Been Saving, the leviathan Lee Hazelwood Industries box, also out in '13)(Both releases are on Spotify).Think the reissue of Michele's Saturn Rings is cut out, but several tracks are still on YouTube. She was a 60s session ace, sang on several Boettcher projects, among many other dates, and he produced this, with Mothers like Lowell George and Elliot Ingber making supportive, non-showboat sounds, and stranger cats than that writing lines, but it's not so in-your-face, more like highly proficient psych-pop as a new mainstream, though the sweet starry vibe gets weirder as it goes along, in a canyon garden:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7E0839D64B2D0B20

Just saw that Tanega's album is being re-released this Friday, and knew the name was familiar (figured it was in the Hipster Kisses thread but found it here). Went to play the clip of "You're Dead" and damned if it isn't the theme to the series version of What We Do In The Shadows! Have been meaning to check what song that was.
