Linda Smith is a pioneering figure in the American lo-fi and indie pop movement, emerging from Baltimore’s DIY scene in the late 1980s. Known for her delicate melodies, introspective lyrics, and home-recorded charm, she became one of the early champions of cassette culture. Her work, including releases like *Greater Than God* and *I So Liked Spring*, has influenced generations of independent artists. Revived interest through reissues has introduced her intimate, quietly powerful songwriting to a new audience, reaffirming her place as a cult favorite in indie music history.
