Germany, 1970, avant-folk / chamber folk

Nico – Desertshore: Nico’s a weird one for me. I love her collaboration with The Velvet Underground best, of course, but I introduced my teenage daughter to Nico’s solo stuff, and she’s obsessed now. Like, she listens to her all the time at night when going to bed. It must be the lack of flutes—my daughter needs to decompress after practicing her Irish tin whistle all day.
