THE REVIEW

Commenting on an album of such proportions is certainly not easy. They are called Rachel's, very American from Maryland.
Their breakthrough is "The Sea and the Bells" from 1997. Their latest work is the magnificent "Sistem/Layers". A concept album of 62 minutes divided into 19 tracks. Their music is the perfect synthesis of classical style Mozart and early post-rock style Slint. No percussion. The acoustic gently touches our hearing. An album that fascinates. Just listen to tracks like Water From The Same Source or Moscow Is In The Telephone.
Unmissable.
Buy it if you love staying in the dark, adore it if you are human.
