The Sea and the Bells (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download! Originally released in 1996 and recorded between July 1995 and April 1996 in Chicago, New York City, and Louisville, Rachel's third full-length album features seventeen musicians performing original compositions by Christian Frederickson, Jason Noble, and Rachel Grimes. From the cathartic release of "Rhine & Courtesan" to the cacophony of "The Sirens," from the understated beauty of "The Blue-Skinned Waltz" to the eerie drone of "Night At Sea," Rachel's continued to push the boundaries of their sound even further on this experimental album. Since releasing their first album in 1995, Rachel's has performed in libraries, churches, rock dungeons, ballrooms, gardens, bowling alleys, and movie theaters across the world. They have work with filmmakers, dance companies, stage productions, printmakers, and photographers. Their recordings and shows have been described as "subversives with a cello," "classical post-rock," "post-classical," and "lo-fi Louisville loafers."
