Released in 2001, Denton, Texas trio Lift To Experience’s sole album was an amazingly intense concept album that largely went unheard during the band’s brief lifespan. Subsequent years have rightly elevated it to be one of the best records you’ve never heard.

Lutz Graf-Ulbrich has the rare distinction of being one of Nico’s last living lovers; his story of their romance is a compelling but occasionally difficult read, offering a glimpse of humanity in the German singer’s darkest era.
