LAURIE STYVERS may be amongst the lesser-known names within the milieu of 1970s cult singer-songwriters, but anyone who experiences the bewitching innocence on display upon her collectible albums Spilt Milk (1971) and The Colorado Kid (1973) will surely fall in love with this enigmatic figure, whose records spill over with the baroque flavors of late 1960s-early 1970s British pop.
Styvers commuted between Colorado and London while making her records, but the relative commercial failure of both albums and a disastrous engagement at LA’s Troubadour saw her ardor dampen for a record career and hastened an exit from the music scene. Her later years saw her caring for animals, and Laurie died in 1998 a cult figure that had faded into obscurity, her seraphic face and voice somehow frozen in time.
„Gemini Girl: The Complete Hush Recordings” is the exhaustive document of Laurie Styvers’ career that her music has so long demanded. Drawn from original tapes and session reels, the remastered audio sparkles, and the release boasts a full album’s worth of unreleased material, including demos, alternate versions and some superb unheard songs. The 48-page booklet comes with thorough notes by compilation producer Alec Palao that delve deep into the legend of Laurie, based upon the recollections of those who knew or worked with her, and extensively illustrated with photos and memorabilia. The deluxe 2CD Gemini Girl is the last word on the intangible magic of this fascinating and mysterious artist.
