Revisiting Rachel’s (by proxy)

In the summer of 1995, shortly before leaving my hometown for college, I went to a house party in Middletown, New Jersey — memorable in part because that was where I heard numerous bands who would later become personal favorites. Seam in particular, but also the Louisville post-rock ensemble Rachel’s. All of which is prelude to the fact that I have a review up today at Dusted of onetime Rachel’s member Rachel Grimes’s solo album Book of Leaves.
