Mort Garson – Mother Earth’s Plantasia – LP (Green)

Sacred Bones Records

Hearing “Plantasia” in the 21^st century, now reissued by Sacred Bones Records, it seems less an ode to our photosynthesizing friends by Garson and more an homage to his wife, the one with the green thumb that made everything flower around him. “My dad would be totally pleased to know that people are really interested in this music that had no popularity at the time,” Darmet says of “Plantasia”‘s new renaissance. “He would be fascinated by the fact that people are finally understanding and appreciating this part of his musical career that he got no admiration for back then.” Garson seems to be everywhere again, even if he’s not really noticed, just like a houseplant.
