70ies german singer songwriter who sounds like a combination of Nick Drake & Nico, the story is as follows:
In a particularly dark and moody period of her young life, Claudine, a friend of Sibylle's, dragged her out from under the bed and took her on a road trip to Strasbourg, ending up across the Alps in Genoa.
Upon the return from this trip Sibylle felt her sprits renewed and she set out to write the song "Remember the Day", grateful for being alive. It was the first song she ever wrote. Her music is simply amazing in its intimacy and closeness. Recorded in the late 70's in her home on a reel to reel recording device, the songs on "Colour Green" are intimate portraits of life's sad and fragile beauty. It is a gem of an album that will blow your mind. Sibylle is a star who chose to shine for her friends and family instead of the whole world.

From another website:
Sibylle Baier seems to have been an aspiring German folk singer and theatre actress in the early 1970’s, that gave up her dreams for fame for family. Years later her son transferred her music from an old tape reel to CD’s as presents for their family during an anniversary of her birthday. The son happened to be friends with J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. fame, who happened to hear the CD and passed it along promptly to Orange Twin records. “Colour Green” is an impressive display of dreamy folk music, that will make fans of Vashti Bunyan and Nick Drake drool with delight. It is that good. Her voice is similar to Nico except it is far more feminine and gives this reviewer the instant feeling of “listening to greatness.
my advice, grab this shit up, it beats the shit out of Vashti Bunyan
