Album Notes

Gracie and the Atom is the soundtrack to a musical play about life, death, physics, and Catholic school. Great big hooks and a choir of girls voices as back vocals make these short pop gems burst with longing and energy. You won't have to see the play to love these songs!When Gracie loses her father, she is sent off to Catholic school. While Sister Lidwina preaches physics, Sister Francis dissects the Gospels, Archimedes slides into his tub, Jesus walks on Galilee, and Einstein searches for the theory of everything, Gracie looks to them all to answer her questions. Why is she at Our Lady of Peace High School if she's not Catholic? How can she get a message from her father? Where is the mother she never knew? Her new classmates help her with the details of purgatory, ouija boards, and super hero saints. But nothing in this new territory of protons, prayer, miracles, and mechanics can help Gracie escape gravity or prepare her for what she finds.
