Bio
By the age of seven, Rachel Austin had already recorded three full-length cassette tapes of her own music.

Was it the home schooling in the Blue Ridge Mountain hollow that enabled her imagination to remain playful and free? For that describes Rachel’s music, too.
Rachel’s music was born in Virginia and has taken her around the USA and Euro...

Press
“...the juxtaposition of willfully downbeat sentiment and ludicrously catchy melodies - best heard on the awesome Close or seen in the video for lead track Babydoll - just seemed to do it for us. Austin's voice, inspired by Tim Buckley and Regina Spektor (just two among a vast array of influences), is like an extra instrument that plays perfectly with the jazzy guitars, bass and drums.
Really, though, it's the writing that makes the songs work so well, without wanting to state the obvious, at once haunted and uplifting, yearning yet triumphant.”
