Rachael & Vilray - West Of Broadway

Since their formation in 2015, Brooklyn-based duo, Rachael & Vilray, have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical. On their third album 'West of Broadway' , vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist/singer/songwriter Vilray evolve their music's previous dreaminess to achieve a refreshing angularity built on left- ofcenter instrumentation (e.g., vibraphone and alto saxophone coasting above the moody strains of baritone sax and trombone). Produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Bahamas), 'West of Broadway' unfolds in a series of sharply drawn vignettes inspired by a recent fascination with classic musicals - bringing their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache along city streets. Thanks in large part to the colorful detail and extravagant personality of Rachael & Vilray's storytelling, 'West of Broadway' ultimately immerses the audience in an exquisitely out-of-time vision of their beloved New York City.
