Starsailor

First released1970

Starsailor, released in 1970, was recorded at the Record Plant in Los Angeles under the production of Jack Holzman and engineered by Andy Johns. The album was created during a period of significant artistic experimentation for Tim Buckley, featuring unconventional recording techniques and extreme vocal performances that pushed the boundaries of studio production at the time. The sessions resulted in a more abstract and challenging sound compared to his previous work, with Buckley employing extended vocal techniques and the band exploring dissonant harmonic textures. The album reflected the creative risks Buckley was willing to take during this era, though it received limited commercial success upon release.
