Gracie and Rachel: Intimate Orchestral Pop (Archives)




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Dark and light constantly fuse, diverge, and unite in Brooklyn violin-piano duo, Gracie and Rachel. Their 2015 debut album <em>Go</em>, begins with a single haunting note. Pizzicato violin from Rachel Ruggles and Gracie Coates' piano ebb and flow together in a rocking orchestral rhythm, while Gracie's milky vocals add a delicate layer of gothic pop on top. Gracie usually wears white, Rachel wears black. Together they make a kind of orchestral indie pop music that plays with light and dark, and they’ve been doing it since they were in high school, a seasoned partnership that is apparent in their music. The duo plays in-studio in this 2015 session from the archives. </p> <p>Setlist:</p> <ul> "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb2b_aDZFjw&amp;index=3&amp;list=PLUQrcRVuC9YLs3tvQV041TOzUNDxO_hGZ">Sing Song</a>" "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALUnx4o0T8o&amp;index=1&amp;list=PLUQrcRVuC9YLs3tvQV041TOzUNDxO_hGZ">Go</a>" "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INbwUua_O1E&amp;list=PLUQrcRVuC9YLs3tvQV041TOzUNDxO_hGZ&amp;index=4">Upside Down</a>" "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0iFXU3OfJs&amp;list=PLUQrcRVuC9YLs3tvQV041TOzUNDxO_hGZ&amp;index=2">Don't Know</a>" </ul>
