Vera Sienra, “Nuestra Soledad Nera” (Lion Productions 2013; original releases 1969, 1972)
Psychedelic-inflected Latin/European-style folk from this Uruguayan singer. Really stark, affecting, beautiful stuff, especially the first album. The somber mood and sense of distance/dislocation recall Nico, while the luminous minimalist intensity anticipates Angel Olson.
