Details:
Chris Rael''s acrobatic vocal style was influenced by years of classical music study in Varanasi, India. The sitarist/guitarist is leader of NYC Indo-pop band Church of Betty, founder of indie label Fang Records, and currently creates music for the stage and film (he won the Outstanding Score Award at Outfest Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2005). Chris''s proclivity for melding pop hooks with more esoteric musical elements is evident in this collection, which represents a cross-section of his eclectic pursuits over the years. Chris was part of the first wave of progressive acts through the original Knitting Factory, and later became a regular favorite at Greenwich Village''s legendary Bottom Line. He has performed at Town Hall, Lincoln Center & Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, Sydney Opera House, the Secession Building in Vienna, the National Mall in Washington DC, the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Berlin, London, Dublin, Glasgow, Mexico City, Varanasi, Eastern Canada and across America, with numerous appearances on National Public Radio. He has collaborated with many dozens of artists, including Penny Arcade, Oasis, Annabella Lwin (Bow Wow Wow), David Byrne, Najma, Johnny Society, Elliott Sharp, Curt Smith (Tears for Fears), Jayne County, and Stew (of Broadway’s Passing Strange). "Chris Rael has consistently blended rock and Indian music better than any western guitar guy, ever," the Village Voice wrote. Magnet Magazine called him “a purveyor of urban psychedelia, with a voice sweeter than Prince.” His work has been called “brilliant” by Billboard and “musical and cultural fusion of the first order” by the Boston Herald.
