Linda Smith is a pioneer of home recording who self released her music originally on cassette starting in 1987. In the early 90’s, indie labels Slumberland and Harriet Records expanded her reach with the release of two seven inch eps.

Recently, Brooklyn NY label Captured Tracks has reissued two complete albums on vinyl and she has begun to tour in the US and internationally for the first time.

Paste magazine called her “a hidden treasure of America's pop underground”, while Jangle Pop Hub has written that “Essentially this is the best bedroom pop you are ever likely to hear, directly from an age that did not really know what to do with it”.

Support comes from Troutflies, a sometimes-quartet playing loose, woozy punk and experimental lo-fi pop, occasionally with dualing melodica's.

Presented by Please Please You.
