The Pink Moon - The Pink Moon EP album flac

Pink Moon is the third and final studio album by the English musician Nick Drake, released in the UK by Island Records on 25 February 1972. It was the only one of Drake's studio albums to be released in North America during his lifetime: the only previous release there had been a 1971 compilation simply entitled Nick Drake featuring tracks from both his first two albums, which were not released in North America in their original forms until 1976.

Nevertheless, Island Records kept faith in the young singer, who suddenly appeared at the company’s offices with a big 16-track master-tape box under his arm and left the tapes of Pink Moon with the woman at reception. The company knew that with such exceptional songs (‘Road’, ‘Which Will’) they had something special on their hands. Eventually, long after his death, people took notice and Pink Moon posthumously went Platinum. The album’s last track, ‘From The Morning’, is notable for containing the lyrics And now we rise/And we are everywhere, which would later feature on Drake’s headstone in Tanworth-in-Arden. The lines offer hope that this wonderful album about loss and failure is also as much about resurrection.

Pink Moon is unique in its presentation. The album features surrealist cover art, poetic and symbolic lyrics, Nick Drake’s slurring, solemn voice, and his artfully-skilled acoustic guitar playing. Unlike his previous two records, Pink Moon is performed solely by Drake, without guest musicians. Nick Drake alluded to doing a solo album in the only interview he ever gave, conducted by Jerry Gilbert for Sounds in 1971.

No side musicians or outside performers help this time around - it's simply Drake and Drake alone on vocals, acoustic guitar, and a bit of piano, recorded by regular producer Joe Boyd but otherwise untouched by anyone else.
