Weathered Pearls

Like a string of gramma's pearls you found under a pile of faded lace in the attic, the luster of these songs glows gently like memories flickering in candelight. Humor, melancholy and charm blend easily and effortlessly into a haunting opus. So thoughtful, so endearing. With not one note out of place, be it piano, xylophone, whale or tuba, this very original set flows like a lazy southern river past Mark Twain's mansion, thru the Sad Cafe, and right into the East Village. Destined for masterpiece status: the exquisite opener "after the after party", the heartbreaker "back in the day" and the brilliant "the best revenge." Bravo.

I was first introduced to Rachelle's music at the TED2008 conference when she was playing as part of Thomas Dolby's "house band" and I have been hooked ever since. She has huge tonal range with her voice , and her moods swing from soulful to satirical. She really hooked me with Pre-Post Apocalypse.
