Oar by Alexander “Skip” Spence is a haunting, deeply influential psychedelic folk classic, reissued here on limited crystal clear vinyl via Music On Vinyl. Originally released in 1969, Oar stands as Spence’s only solo album and one of the most unique records of its era. Recorded in just seven days following his release from a psychiatric institution, Spence played every instrument himself, creating a raw, intimate and often surreal listening experience. Blending fragile folk melodies with psychedelic textures and lo-fi production, the album captures a deeply personal and unfiltered artistic vision. Tracks like Little Hands, War In Peace and Weighted Down (The Prison Song) showcase a sound that has gone on to influence generations of indie and alternative artists. Now widely regarded as a cult masterpiece, Oar is essential listening for fans of psychedelic folk, outsider music and experimental songwriting, presented here as a limited numbered edition on crystal clear vinyl.
