Sibylle Baier

The Profile

Sibylle Baier is a German singer-songwriter and actress whose intimate home recordings from 1970–1973 were compiled and released in 2006 as Colour Green (Orange Twin). The songs were recorded privately and include pieces Baier sang for her son.

Recorded at home between 1970 and 1973 on a battery-operated recorder; tapes were discovered by her son (Robby) decades later and compiled; Orange Twin Records released Colour Green in 2006; J Mascis is credited in reviews with helping the release; Baier had a past connection to film and is mentioned as having appeared in Wim Wenders' Alice in the Cities in reviews.

DeBaser's reviews celebrate Sibylle Baier's intimate, home-recorded songs collected on Colour Green. Critics praise the sparse arrangements, hushed voice and emotional immediacy. The album's backstory — tapes recorded 1970–1973 and released in 2006 by Orange Twin — frames its wistful charm.
