About the album

Canadian-born composer Mort Garson was a pioneer of the Moog synthesizer, and in 1976 he made one of the most charming albums ever: a set of gentle, sunny electronic tunes composed specifically for houseplants to listen to. It was originally only available to people who bought a plant at a Los Angeles shop called Mother Earth or a mattress from Sears.

"Plantasia," "Symphony for a Spider Plant," "Concerto for Philodendron & Pothos" and "Swingin' Spathiphyllums" are bubbly, wobbly and impossibly sweet. Your ferns will thank you.
