Tim Buckley – Starsailor

Description

Vocally and instrumentally haunting, Starsailor was unlike much else at the time of release; Buckley chose words for their phonetic sounds instead of meaning, and admitted to using other languages if an english word didn’t suffice. Different from his first three albums, this personal album shares the same sort of response as Lorca. Though – like so many classic albums of our time – disliked by fans on release – it has become known as one of Buckley’s best works, certainly from an experimental point of view. Includes the shimmering genius of ‘Song to the Siren’.
