[1] It was the only one of Drake's studio albums released in North America during his lifetime: the only previous version had been a 1971 collection simply titled Nick Drake featuring tracks from both of his first two albums, which were not released in North America in their original forms until 1976. Pink Moon differs from Drake's previous albums in that it was recorded without a support band, featuring only Drake on vocals, acoustic guitar and a short piano riff overdubbed onto the title track. Released two years before Drake's death in November 1974, at the age of twenty-six, pink moon's lyrical content has often been attributed to Drake's ongoing battle with depression. [2] The songs are smaller than his previous albums, with a total album running time of just over twenty-eight minutes. Pink Moon, like Drake's previous studio albums, has not sold well during his lifetime, but has since garnered considerable critical acclaim. Nick Drake's first two albums with Island Records, Five Leaves Left (1969) and Bryter Layter (1971), were badly sold and coupled with Drake's reluctance to perform live or participate in album promotions, Island wasn't sure about another album by Drake. [2] In addition, Drake had been isolated in his London apartment and was suffering from depression. In 1971 he saw a psychiatrist and was prescribed antidepressants, which he was reluctant to take because of the stigma associated with depression and his fears about the drug's interaction with marijuana, which he regularly smoked. [2] Although critics often associate Drake's music, and especially the perceived melancholy of the pink moon, with his depression, Cally Calloman of Bryter Music, which manages Drake's estate, remembers it differently: Nick was unable to write and record while he was suffering from periods of depression. He was not depressed during the writing or recording of Pink Moon and was extremely proud of the album.

Drake seems to have made a decision before recording his third album that it would be as simple and without the numerous guest musicians who were hired at Bryter Layter. In his autobiography, Joe Boyd, producer of Drake's first two. Drake. he remembered that as they were finishing recording Bryter Layter Drake had told him that he wanted to make his next record alone,[5] and in his only interview, published in Sounds magazine in March 1971, Drake told researcher Jerry Gilbert that for the next [album] I had the idea to do something with John Wood, the engineer at Sound Techniques. [6] After a brief hiatus in Spain spent in a villa owned by the head of Island Records, Chris Blackwell,[7] Drake returned to London refreshed, and in October 1971 approached record engineer and producer John Wood. [2] Wood had collaborated with Drake on his two previous albums and was one of the few people Drake felt he could trust. Wood has collaborated with other artists such as Fairport Convention, Cat Stevens and Pink Floyd, and has often collaborated with record producer Joe Boyd. Boyd produced Drake's first two albums with Wood acting as an audio engineer. Although Wood focused primarily on the engineering of an album, he often contributed as a producer. When Drake contacted Wood in 1971 expressing interest in recording another album, the process that followed was significantly reduced compared to Drake's other two albums. The album was recorded at the Sound Techniques studio in London at the end of October 1971 with only Drake and Wood present. [8] The studio was booked during the day, so Drake and Wood arrived around 11:00 p.m. and simply and quietly recorded half the songs. The next night, they did the same. In just two evening sessions, with only his voice and acoustic guitar, Drake created what is considered by many to be one of the most important folk albums of all time. [9] Contrary to the popular myth that Drake threw the album away in a plastic bag at the reception of Island Records and then left with no one to realize, Drake delivered the main Pink Moon films to Chris Blackwell on the island. [2] In an interview for Nick Drake fanzine Pynk Moon in 1996, the island's press officer David Sandison recalled that Drake's arrival at the record label certainly hadn't gone unnoticed, although there was no indication that he was delivering them a new album: I saw him at the front desk then I came back from lunch and I was talking to someone and I saw a figure in the corner on the counter and suddenly I realized it was Nick. He had this big, 15 ips [inches per second] master tape box under his arm, and I said Have you had a cup of tea? and said 'Erm, yes', and I said 'Do you want to come up? And he said, Yes, okay. So we went up to my desk, which was at the top of the landing, it was a landing that went to the big with a huge round table where Chris and everyone else worked-very democratic-and there was a big Reevox (sic) and sound system there, and sat right in my office area for about half an hour... After about half an hour he said better to go, I go, I said okay, it's good to see you, and he's gone. Now, he came down the stairs and still had the tapes under his arm, and about an hour later the girl who was working behind the front desk called and said 'Nick left his tapes behind'. So I went down and it was the great sixteen-piece master movie and said NICK DRAKE PINK MOON, and I thought 'this is not an album I know'. The first thing to do was take it to the studio to make a seven and a half inch backup, because that was the master. So we ran from a backup to actually play, and I think twenty-four hours later or so, we came to Reevox in the main hall and we heard Pink Moon. [10] Tapes of the Pink Moon Session also included Drake's recording of Plaisir d'amour (translated from French as The Pleasure of Love), a classic French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini. Although Plaisir d'amour was on the track list of the Pink Moon master movie box as the first track of Side Two, when the films were presented they included a note in relation to the song they were writing, Spare Title – Don't Use,[11] so that the song doesn't make it onto the album. The recording was less than a minute long, featured guitar-free vocals, and was eventually included as a hidden track in the UK versions of Nick Drake's collection A Treasury (2004). If Plaisir d'amour had been included in the Pink Moon album, it would have been the only song on any of his albums that Nick Drake didn't write himself. Artwork Keith Morris was the photographer who took Drake's photo for the cover of Five Leaves Left and was commissioned to photograph Drake for the cover of Pink Moon. However, the photos were not used as drake's rapidly deteriorating appearance, curved shape and blank expression are not considered good selling points. The island's creative director Annie Sullivan, who oversaw the shoot, recalled the difficulty in making a decision around the cover of LP: I remember going to [Nick], and he just sat there, hunched over, and even though he didn't talk, I knew the album was called Pink Moon, and I can't remember how he passed it on, if he wrote it down... He wanted a pink moon. He couldn't tell me what he wanted, but I had a pink moon to go on. [3] The island chose a piece of surreal dalí-esque art from Michael Trevithick, who was incidentally a friend of Drake's sister Gabrielle. Although Drake wasn't honest in his opinion on the art coverage of Pink Moon, many close to him felt he approved. David Sandison said he found the original framed artwork for the pink moon inside among its debris basement the island was later granted to him as his office, and he took it home and hung it on the wall of his house for several years, before finally showing it to Drake's parents.

They spent the entire promotional budget on full-page ads in all major music magazines in the month of the archive's release. Pink Moon received more attention from the UK music press than Drake's first two albums had, but most reviews were still short. Jerry Gilbert of Sounds, who had conducted the only known interview with Drake the previous year and who was his greatest champion up to this point, expressed his frustration with the album and his disappointment at Drake's apparent lack of motivation, saying, The album consists entirely of Nick's guitar, voice and piano and features all the usual features without ever matching Bryter Layter. One has to accept that Nick's songs necessarily require a further increase, because while his accompanying songs are good the songs are not strong enough to stand up without any embroidery. Things Behind the Sun does, so does Parasite - but maybe it's time Mr. Drake stopped acting so mysteriously and started getting something properly organized for himself. [23] In Melody Maker Mark Plummer appreciated the music, but was distracted by Drake's growing ascetic mythology: His music is so personal and shy presented so lyrically and on his limited guitar and piano playing that neither nor coming over ... The more you listen to Drake though, the more exciting his music becomes - but all the time he hides from you. In Things Behind the Sun, he sings to me, ashamed and shy. Maybe someone should play his albums with the sound off and just look at the cover and make the music in your head reciting his words from inside the cover with your own rhythmic heart rhyme... It could be that Nick Drake doesn't exist at all. Referring to Drake's recorded production, Fred Dellar noted in the Hi-Fi News & Record Review that LPs hardly sell, thanks in part to Nick's reluctance to play promotional gigs and one is left with the feeling that his only ambition is to play the lead in howard hughes' story should anyone ever to do it as a musical. Meanwhile, he uses his delicious smokey voice to produce these intimate, late-night sounds that I find myself playing over and over again. [15] In the London edition of Time Out Al Clark he noticed that Drake writes impressive and evocative songs and has always done so, but most of the magic is in tradition: a palpiating voice, reminiscent of the jazzier Donovan, slipping melancholy words over chord changes and creating moments of perfect stillness. Clark said that several of the most essential songs are very beautiful, but concluded forebearingly, unfortunately, and despite the island's efforts to rectify the situation, Nick Drake is likely to remain in the shadows, the private troubadour of those who are fortunate enough to catch an earful of his exquisite 3am introversions. [25] By the time the album was reissued on CD in the 1990s and 2000s, Drake's reputation and critical position had improved significantly, and the album's legacy reviews were overwhelmingly favorable. Martin Aston of Q noted in 1990 that the mood is even more distant [than Drake's first two albums] with – ultimately – a defeated pressure on both neck and words, but several of his more elegant melodies. [26] John Harris's review of the 2000 reissue in the same magazine was more positive yet, claiming that many hold up the pink moon as Nick Drake's best album and saying, The motivation of success had evaporated and Drake made a record so uniquely incompatible and that, superficially, he beggars belief... The truth is that the excellence of the Pink Moon shines through, regardless of the endless speculation [about Drake's state of mind during the making of the record and subsequent death]. Few records have ever sounded so familiar, or incorporated the eternal human disease known as Melancholy with such grace and certainty. [17] In Mojo Rob Chapman argued that Pink Moon is his masterpiece and robert johnson comparisons are fully deserved. [27] The critic and writer Ian MacDonald, a drake contemporary at Cambridge University, told Uncut that what remains clear is that this is one of the top singer-songwriter albums, almost every one of the 11 tracks of a timeless classic. [22] Rolling Stone's Anthony DeCurtis observed that by the time of these sessions, Drake had retreated so deep into his inner world that it's hard to tell what the songs are 'about'. His lyrics are so compressed that they are the kind of folk haikus, almost childishly simple in their structure and elemental in their images. His voice conveys, in her groans and breathable whispers, a seductive sensuality, but he sings as if he were watching his life from a long, unfashionable distance. This element of detachment is creepy. To reinforce this, isolation messages gradually float on the surface of the song's spare, eloquent melodies. [28] Three years later in the same magazine James Hunter said of the North American 2003, the album unleashes a dramatic starkness and some surprisingly beautiful music. [19] Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote in his retrospective review that the pink moon more than anything else is the record that made Drake the cult figure that remains. Specifically, the Pink Moon is the [all its files]; that the likes of Belle and Sebastian are fans of Drake may be pretty clear, but it's doubtful that they could ever achieve the calm, focused suspense of this album, as poignant as it is appealing... Drake's elegant melancholy avoids sounding pretentious, thanks to his constant embrace of simple, tender vocals. Meanwhile, the sheer magnificence of his guitar game - think the original notes of Street or Parasite - makes for a breathless miracle to see. [13] Review Pink Moon as part of the 2014 box that Tuck Box, Jayson Greene of Pitchfork noted, A pink moon is a baleful symbol, a sign of impending death or calamity... On paper, that feeling reads like vengeful rage, but in the record, it sounds thoughtful. Drake's voice never conveyed tangible anger or sadness. he had a small, soft voice and upper-class accent, the product of his upbringing, cut and clean, and his guitar, as always, struck out with a crystalline purity. His music is so comforting that the darkness in his heart is not always accessible. It's almost impossible to hear the emotional abandonment in Pink Moon, then, without the taste of his first two albums lingering in your mouth. It's only then that the bone-dry echo of guitars records as slightly unsettling, and the backdrop of silence suggests both the purity of Drake's vision, but also something darker: like someone who has fallen out of the world, muttering prophecies... There's a stillness to Nick Drake's music that silences anyone who gets close enough, and the Pink Moon is his purest expression. It remains nick drake's record most people start with, and for good reason. [18] Accolades Voted number 131 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All-Time Top 1000 Album (2000). [29] In 2003, the album was ranked number 320 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. [30] In 2012, this classification was revised to number 321 and in 2020 revised to number 201. [31] In the UK Pink Moon was placed at number 48 on Melody Maker All Time Top 100 Albums in 2000,[32] and number 126 on Uncut's 200 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2016. [33] Legacy The first notable cover versions of Nick Drake's songs were released in 1992, when Lucinda Williams covered Which Will on her album Sweet Old World,[34] and alternative rock band Sebadoh covered Pink Moon in EP Sebadoh vs Helmet. [35] By 2006, Beck recorded covers of the album's songs for online-only release, including Who Will, and Parasite[36]. 1999 Volkswagen Cabriolet advertising On 11 November 1999 Volkswagen made the in a TELEVISION ad campaign, called Galaxy, which featured the Volkswagen Cabriolet with pink moon's title track as a soundtrack. Ron Lawner, Chief Creative Officer of Arnold Communications said in the press release, The song is very special. Special. An old song from a guy named Nick Drake. It's called Pink Moon and it's actually a very good introduction to Nick Drake if you're not familiar with it. It's very transportable. And for us it seemed very suitable for a beautiful walk in the country on a very special night. [37] The commercial Volkswagen Cabriolet, directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and shot by Lance Acord, led to a big increase in record sales,[38] and a number-five placing for pink moon on the Amazon.com's sales chart. [39] The campaign was an important milestone in the use of popular music in advertising. Bethany Klein, a professor in the Department of Media and Communication at the University of Central England says, The role of the Pink Moon in the success of the Milky Way was interesting, since both added to the artistry of the commercial and also protected by the visual art of the place: because advertising worked (it was an aesthetic success) the usual negative speech around the use of popular music in advertising was , if it does not stop, at least decreases and is accompanied by positive estimates ... The link between advertising is a watershed and beautifully done is no coincidence; is because the ad is so well executed and so aesthetically successful that the industry and the public reassessed the use of music in advertising around this example. [40] In 2001, Volkswagen gave all new volkswagen cabrio buyers a collection CD that featured pink moon as the first piece. US sales of Nick Drake's album Pink Moon increased from 6,000 copies, before the song was used in the Commercial Cabrio, to 74,000 copies in 2000. [41] Since 2004 it has sold 329,000 copies in the United States. [42] Track list All songs written and composed by Nick Drake. Side oneNo. TitleLength1. Pink Moon2:062. Place to be2:433. Road2:024.
