This Louisville-based avant-garde chamber group presents their first full-length in three years. Home recording, field recordings, and several large ensemble sessions with members of the Louisville Orchestra make up this release, which originally began when the group took to the streets of NYC armed with a DAT recorder in search of interesting sounds.

Rachel's' 1999 album, Selenography, presents more of their thoughtful, expressive, nearly unclassifiable compositions. Many of the 12 pieces here grew from live performances and were nurtured in the group's home studio, blossoming into works with a cosmic and rustic theme. The harpsichords on "Honeysuckle Suite," the gentle interplay of violas and piano on "Kentucky Nocturne," and the subtly dissonant guitars and vibes of "An Evening of Long Goodbyes" prove that Rachel's' already complex a   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Rachel's band began recording in April of 1991 in Baltimore, MD under the direction of Christian Frederickson & Jason Noble. During the many years of running around to different cities and recording whenever they could, they met and became close friends with Rachel Grimes. Rachel was given a copy of their Rachel's Halo cassette because of her first name and soon the three began collaborating. In September of 1994, after a few more city moves, band break-ups, and general madness they decide   [ read more ]

Composed for a live theater/dance production about the tragic life of Austrian artist Egon Schiele, the gentle majesty of Music for Egon Schiele is a welcome change of pace for anyone bored with popular music forms, transporting the listener's mood entirely. Rachel's weaves a delicate but highly moving musical fabric that wraps itself around you tightly and pulls you in, simultaneously cradling you lovingly while haunting you with its melancholy ambiance. At times, the emotionally rich compositions   [ read more ]

Louisville, KY's Rachel's might record for the punk/noise label Quarterstick Records, but their ambitious blend of post-minimalist modern classical music and post-rock experimentalism (guests include ex-Volcano Suns bassist Bob Weston; ex-Rodan leader Jason Noble wrote several tracks with Grimes) has almost nothing at all to do with rock music. These seven pieces, recorded between 1991 and 1994, featuring a cast of 16 musicians in various combinations, range from the two-minute solo piano miniature "Frida K   [ read more ]

RESTOCK. This two-song, 30-minute EP provides insight into the subtle complexities of Rachel's sound. The first track is a new recording of the song "Full on Night," which originally appeared on the band's debut album, Handwriting. Here, though, the song is almost completely reinvented, with the group's trademark chamber music maturity eventually giving way to daring experimentalism, finally morphing into a grinding noise rock riff you'd never expect from a group with a concert pianist and two violinists.
