Beach House Robert Lester Folsom Cover New Music And Dreams 50th Anniversary
In the world of independent music, some albums are quietly waiting for the right moment to be unearthed. Robert Lester Folsom’s private press album, Music And Dreams, released back in 1976, perfectly embodies this kind of enduring, cult appeal.
Released privately, the album faded into obscurity for a time, but it possessed a raw, captivating quality that spoke to a niche audience. That quiet obscurity paved the way for a remarkable rediscovery decades later, particularly when the indie music scene began actively digging for unheard pop oddities.
The true renaissance of Music And Dreams arrived in 2010, thanks to the work of the Mexican Summer imprint, Anthology Recordings, which brought the album back to the forefront. This reissue tapped into a growing hunger for deep cuts and overlooked artists, cementing Folsom’s place in a new generation of listeners.
Now, Anthology Recordings is celebrating the album’s half-century milestone with a special 50th-anniversary edition. This limited release is set to deliver a treasure trove for fans, featuring a meticulously remastered version of the original tracks, alongside a wealth of previously unheard demos.
Adding an extra layer of intrigue, the anniversary package also features newly recorded covers by Folsom of iconic artists like Beach House and Hannah Cohen, blending Folsom’s unique voice with contemporary sonic landscapes.
This anniversary project isn’t just a nostalgic trip; it’s a vibrant celebration of Folsom’s legacy and his continuing influence. Fans eager to experience this special edition and the new material can catch Robert Lester Folsom on the road as he tours in support of the reissue. Tickets are available now for this exciting event here.
