Neil Leach Listening to Rachel Taylor Brown's music is like trying to read one of those William Faulkner paragraphs that pretend to be a sentence just so they can twist your head around. Great art!

about

I thought about the space junk looking down at the Pacific garbage gyre.

These times are placing demands on human escapist ingenuity in ways they never have before. To complicate matters, Americans are more cuckoo than ever, with absolutely no awareness of just how crazy we've become--like the reeking ladies so drenched in perfume they've lost their sense of smell and have no idea just how profoundly they're affecting the atmosphere. I have to believe those ladies once made do with a single, sensible spritz, and then things just spiraled out of control. So I like to remember Americans once had sense.

about

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by! ... more
