1999 [Quarterstick QS55CD]

Rachel’s formed in 1991 by Jason Noble (guitarist for hardcore band Rodan) who promptly recruited violist Christian Frederickson and semi famous pianist Rachel Grimes. in ‘95 they released Handwriting, which at the time (the normalisation stage of post rock) was unique for combining guitar based post rock tropes with minimalist classical composition and a variety of normal and not-so-normal instruments. Through the 90’s they released a string of experimental and sometimes spotty albums, with the number of guest musos and the density of instrumentation getting higher each release.
