The album was rediscovered by record enthusiasts and grew in popularity with the rise of the New Weird America movement and the Internet. It was reissued on CD and 2-LP in 2005, and again in 2008.
Native of Mill Valley, California, United States, Linda Perhacs spent many years away from the music industry (mostly spent as dental technician). Her songs have been featured in soundtracks to many films, most recently and notably in "Daft Punk's Electroma". Perhacs also sang backing vocals on "Freely" from Devendra Banhart's "Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon" and features in Prefuse 73's track "Rain Edit Interlude" from the album "Surrounded by Silence".
In December 2013, Asthmatic Kitty Records announced the March 2014 release of Perhacs' second record The Soul of All Natural Things. The album was recorded in 2012 and 2013 with co-producers Fernando Perdomo and Chris Price. Other collaborators on the album include Julia Holter and Ramona Gonzalez of Nite Jewel. The Soul of All Natural Things was released on March 4, 2014.

Discovered Linda nearly a decade ago now and still haven't found anything that quite matches her style. Dewdrops on cobwebs.

You have most likely heard Joni Mitchell's first album, Sibylle Baier's Color Green, Karen Dalton, Judee Sill, or newer artists like Jessica Pratt and Julie Byrne, etc. but I think those are pretty similar. It may depend on what you look for in her "style" though.
Davey Curtis
She reminds of Kate Bush, she is from another planet.
sponge
PJ Sufjan Stevens to add to that list

Check out Molly Drake as well :)

Her "Parallelograms" is truly a gem. For a young woman to have come up with that many great original songs, basically as an amateur musician, is incredible.

It was a brilliant performance but hat's off also to her producer Leonard and side musicians for the full package.

I just discovered Linda Perhacs today, thanks to an interview with Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth. What an amazing voice and songwriter. I'm blown away by Parallelograms. So ahead of its time. Thank you for producing this feature about her.

Finding Lindas music is truly a gift. The way she builds her music around her uniquely soft way of viewing life is wonderful. I feel like i have searched for something like this for a long time. The first time i heard parallelohrams i just sat there in awe and cried. Even without seeing her drawings you get a strong visual sense from the music. Shes an absolute genius.

Her voice is so tactile and comforting
