Baggett, Lee

***Perpetual Doom is proud to present the long-awaited, long-lost album from songwriter Lee Baggett: Just a Minute. A West Coast journeyman of many years and sometimes guitarist for Little Wings, Baggett casts something of an enigmatic shadow in the indie rock world. His record—an odd and inviting collection of hazy sunset tunes—feels lost in time too, drifting through the cosmic wind. Unknown in origin, recorded sometime between 1979 and last year, Just a Minute arrives just in time. These ten songs sound piped in from some beach town purgatory or a vinyl shop at the end of the world. There are rumors they were recorded at Sou’wester Lodge on the coast of Washington, between extensive surf sessions and all-night jams. Appropriately, each track beams with a characteristic lightness.
