Aliens don’t exist, but space oddities certainly do. And in 2006, indie label Orange Twin managed to find one. Titled Colour Green, it is the work of a complete unknown from Germany, Sibylle Baier. She composed and recorded a few songs in her home between 1970 and 1973. Succinct sleeve notes explain that it was after a trip between Strasbourg and Genoa that the young woman gave life to these fourteen timeless gems, edited by her son 35 years after their recording. Her bare, unpretentious voice appears to be overcome by unrelenting angst: so oppressive it becomes imperial, immaculate. Sibylle Baier’s vocals are reminiscent of a cheerful Nico, a stunned Leonard Cohen, or a morose Vashti Bunyan. Long story short, its nothing you’d want to conga to. Quickly propelled to iconic status, Baier’s recordings aren’t yet another textbook of depressed folk music for Devendra Banhart fans. Beyond her weightless singing, she wove an impressive harmonic canvas to stamp out any hint of the dullness sometimes associated with folk. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
