Aquariana - Aquariana

If you are a Source Family/YaHoWah/Spirit of 76 fan you might need to sit down for this.

Isis has tapes of a solo album by Aquariana! It's been mastered and Drag City are releasing it 16th December!!

Official- "It's not often a parent knowingly allows their child to join a cult outside the structure of their own family-style cult, but such is the case with Aquariana, who joined The Source Familyas a teenager and went on to become one of Father Yod's 13 wives. Happily, it is clear that their spiritual path was where she was meant to be as well, first working her way around the The Source restaurant before landing into Father's loving arms. Aquariana was gifted in many ways, maybe none more so than through her voice: she was one of the key backup singers for Yahowha13 and other groupings of Family bands, and she played the Whiskey A Go Go on LA's Sunset Strip with the Spirit of 76 band. She was a writer of songs too, and a solo record was planned for release on The Source Family's own imprint, Higher Key. Completed in 1974, it was haunting set of songs, sung almost entirely at the piano with no other accompaniment. Aquariana's album was intended as a powerful counterpoint to the male energies produced and pheromoaning outward from the recordings made by YaHoWha 13 and Savage Sons of YaHoWha to that point. This would provide balance and polarity to the catalog. Sadly, shortly after the completion of the LP, The Family decided it would sell The Source restaurant and move to Hawaii, which put a hold on all recording projects. At the time, this seemed to be a minor postponement, but shortly after arriving in Hawaii, Father Yod left his earthly body and the Source Family soon dispersed to their own separate paths."
