I had such a great time touring with Black Mountain last year, yet again life has set me onto another path for 2020. (I’ll be trading the microphone for drum sticks and hitting the road with Pussy Riot as their permanent drummer. ) I want to give a big thanks to the band and all the incredible fans for supporting our adventures together, and tremendous thanks to Steve McBean for allowing me the opportunity and the honor of singing with him. Truly unforgettable. Can’t wait to see what they do next.

All my love,

Rachel

Proud to announce the successful release of my second book of poems, ‘Human Valentine”. This collection focuses on romantic nostalgia, sex and the art of letting go. I’m thinking about reading a few pages live on Instagram. It’s available online at blurb.com, or at my local bookstore, Pop Hop Shop on York.

 

Oh, and I just bought a harpsichord, so tune in for Baroque content soon…

It gets harder and harder to justify doing anything that isn’t

1. contributing to the progress of humanity
2. self care

 

 

{Feeling so grateful today}
There’s nothing like waking up to a kind review, especially from Brooklyn Vegan

As some of you know, I just released a new track off my album the Marigold Experiment yesterday. Produced by myself and Alec Justice, ‘Wish I Was’, ‘All In’ and ‘Fever Pitch’ showcase a silky more digital side of my music which long time fans may appreciate.

During my stint as Birds Fled From Me in 2007 and 2008, I explored mixing piano with a few subtle electronic sensibilities. I have taken many turns since then, but I’ve always kept that early day magic energy in the back of my mind. If you’ve stuck with my this far and been wishing I would make a return, you’re in luck.

So without further ado, I hope you enjoy ‘Wish I Was’, and if you’re feeling generous, please share as much as you like.

I am so proud to announce that my second book ‘Human Valentine’ is now available to you in paperback via Blurb.com. In this new edition of poems readers will get a deeper glimpse into my romantic scope. Personally I am influenced by writers like Pablo Neruda and even at times Bukowski’s way of portraying sexuality and sensuality. Raw, not always sweet. While my first collection erred towards nostalgia and sometimes times painful recollection, ‘Human Valentine’ reveals tenderness and excitement. I hope you enjoy.
