RS, the 3rd CD by Rachael's Surrender extends the sonic experimentation
of that which has previously been praised by critics and fans alike.
Reuben Chew and Michael Verzani return on this album. RS debuts lead
vocals by Elysabeth Grant, and drums by Dan Thomas.
With their first two albums, Rachael's.Surrender carved a niche for
themselves as a postmodern version of Depache Mode, playing
electronically svelte, slightly mechanical techno-noise pop. Into this
they introduced a montage of fragments of various musical styles. RS
features a new (more pop-friendly) musical direction complete with
songs that are a catalog of popular influences including goth,
electro-pop, and rock influence than previous records, and even
flirtations with the sound of the early 80's dance synth-pop. The group
benefitted from latest entrant singer Elyzabeth Grant's gift for
expressing referential irony within the locked confines of goth and
darkwave. This introduced a complexity into the songs; unconventional
lyrics that often worked at deconstructing the songs; pop musical
conventions.
