Rachael Dadd: Moth In The Motor, due out February 15, you just can't be uptight and listen to this EP!

Table mp3 Rachael Dadd Moth In The Motor….. pre-order it here, from Broken Sound …. (those images above are just some of the images created for the collaborating, Moth In The Motor Arts Project. Also, the 300 limited edition 10″ vinyl pressings will have a unique liner designed by Rachael Dadd herself, wow!)

Rachael Dadd is my new calm-the-fuck-down music. Geeze, I feel guilty for even using the F-word in the presence of such pretty, airy, delicateness. Seven delightful, thoughtful tracks that even with her breathy, high voice, poke and prod your consciousness a bit just as they soothe you too. Moth in the Motor’s songs have phrases that float in and out of my head all night; from the title track, “Moth in the Motor,” she sings, “I’ve been voting for you… and I’ve been cheering for ya… and I’ve been counting on you,” for who counts on a moth? I’d like to know that person, maybe be that person.  The piano, struck intensely takes you to that point of tension where you can finally sigh, exhale and listen again to her voice gently pierce through the silent pause. At other times, it quietly leads you into her swirling vocal storms. “Caught In The Weight” is (some other word for beautiful) and (some other word for haunting) and I love how Joni Mitchell/Kate Bush comes to mind but just can’t stay in there as Rachael Dadd is so much her own voice, her own songwriter. Just go listen, you’ll instantly relax, unloosen, and feel yourself thinking about what a cryptically enchanting woman this Rachael Dadd must be. Moth In The Motor is such a short record to have such a potent, creative force. xoxo
