Proxy Music

Proxy Music is an album of songs composed by British singer Linda Thompson performed by various artists, released on 21 June 2024 through Storysound Records.

[2] Record Collector's Nick Dalton found it to be "almost like one of those all-star tribute albums, except that this isn't a trawl through past glories and [Linda] was very much involved in its creation with folk-rocking son Teddy Thompson, who produced.

"[1] Mojo called it "a fabulous record" and "a unique kind of Various Artists tribute album" without "a bad one among" its tracks, concluding that it is "in all, delightful".

"[7] John Murphy of MusicOMH wrote that "despite the sad circumstances behind the album, there's a wicked sense of humour snaking through these songs", which he described as "a celebration of one of folk's most talented figures" and "great to hear that Linda Thompson has found her voice again, with a little help from her friends".

[5] Andy Cush of Pitchfork found that "the music [...] could fit onto any of those classic '70s records" she made with Richard, "with stately acoustic instrumentation and melodies that wind patiently without flashy pop hooks.
