Living in an old house in SE Portland with her beloved husband, Jay, Rachel makes sometimes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs, mostly on the piano. She’s not a summer-lover and avoids the sun except on cool to cold days. She reads a lot and watches too much tv, and likes to meet strange felines on late night neighborhood walks.
She used to get out a lot more but worried frequently about going crazy. Then she had a nervous breakdown and was a hermit for about 8 years, during which she wrote a lot. She writes a lot still.
Her music reflects a love/hate relationship with humanity and persistent awe at the beauty and horror in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.
The forthcoming (July 7, 2009) Susan Storm''s Ugly Sister and Other Saints and Superheroes, and her previous three records, Half Hours With the Lower Creatures, 7 Small Winter Songs and Ormolu were all recorded in Portland, Oregon with audio midwife and Jackpot! Studios mainstay , Jeff Stuart Saltzman (Menomena, Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus).
In addition to her own music, she plays in two bands fronted by Chris Robley; The Sort Ofs, and The Fear of Heights. She''s a soprano veteran of Portland classical groups Cappella Romana, Portland Baroque Orchestra and Trinity Consort, and occasionally sings w/ Seattle''s Tudor Choir.
Some have called her a mix of Frankenixon (Sword of Exactly) and Charles Ives, w/ sprinklings of Randy Newman, The Beatles, and Kate Bush. Other names that have come up are Rufus Wainwright, PJ Harvey, American Music Club. A local critic has dubbed her music “creep pop.”
Rachel was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She was recently featured on NPR''s Second Stage and All Songs Considered.
