“Well, fans of Rachel’s rejoice: Pianist, composer, and founding member Rachel Grimes has released a track from her forthcoming solo album The Clearing. “The Herald” centers on Grimes’ slow-churning piano line, and reaches its climax during a blistering saxophone solo by Jacob Duncan of Liberation Prophecy.” – Stereogum
