Gracie and Rachel

Gracie and Rachel press back on the boundaries of pop music, their catalog marked by hauntingly spare arrangements, bold, baroque flourishes, evanescent vocal stylings, and penetrative lyrical tact, drawing wide-ranging acclaim from tastemakers including NPR, FLOOD, Flaunt, SPIN, TIDAL, Talkhouse, and American Songwriter. Their forthcoming EP, Nowhere Now Here (out May 19 on Righteous Babe Records), honors those sonic elements foundational to Gracie and Rachel’s sound, and elevates them—a melodious new vigor coursing through the tracklist, ranging from pointedly delicate to tenderly anthemic.

Seen on stages opening for Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, Julien Baker, San Fermin, and more, the collaborative duo of keyboardist, Gracie Coates, and violinist, Rachel Ruggles, have performed two NPR Tiny Desk Concerts and been praised by the outlet’s Bob Boilen to “mix pop and classical in stark, infectious ways and make unforgettable, surprising music.”
