Rachel Austin

Rachel Austin is a multidisciplinary vocalist, electronic composer, songwriter, and performance artist. Her work has an obsession with the sublime with impulses toward narrative, noise and computer interventions.

Austin's songs stretch the borders of indie folk and grungy jazz, reflecting the influences of both her childhood home in the mountains of Virginia and her nomadic homes in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

With a voice that soars "like an earth angel" (Hot Press Magazine) and song writing that is "at once haunted and uplifting, yearning yet triumphant" (Daily Mirror), Austin adds junk tremolo guitar to create a sound compared to that of Jeff Buckley.
