Linda Perhacs “Parallelograms”

The first time I heard this song I was genuinely startled by a moment that comes about halfway through the piece. Now I know it is coming and it’s still disconcerting. This placid, gentle harmony shifts drastically into this delirious, psychedelic state — imagine a folk song getting hit over the head and stumbling around in a daze before fading back to consciousness. It’s like that. The composition has a strange shape and dimension, it’s as much an installation art piece as it is a song.
