Gracie and Rachel's debut album 'Go' is set to be released this winter.

Gracie and Rachel: Intimate Orchestral Pop (Archives)

Soundcheck | May 3, 2021

Dark and light constantly fuse, diverge, and unite in Brooklyn violin-piano duo, Gracie and Rachel. Their 2015 debut album Go, 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.
