Rhodes, Happy
Ectotrophia
The first authoritative compilation of American dream pop artist Happy Rhodes, whose singular songwriting and
four-octave vocal range emanated from the pastoral confines of upstate New York in the 1980s. Her melding of classical
music influences with synthesizer and acoustic guitar, and her enchanting and idiosyncratic singing, are favorably
compared to heralded English chanteuse Kate Bush. Fans of such artistic pop music would be remiss to overlook Rhodes's
similarly remarkable and otherworldly sonic transmissions, traversing tales of dreamers, outsiders, lovers and other
lovely and terrifying creatures born of a wellspring of wild creativity and bold imagination. Affectionately remastered
from the original tapes, Ectotrophia gathers essential songs from Rhodes's mid-'80s salad days, many written when she
was just a teenager-wildly ahead of her time and unafraid to bare her soul to regional audiences, the ectophiles who'd
eventually coin an entire subgenre of pop music in her honor. Dive deep into ecto, with the woman who started it all.
