In premiering the duo’s last EP a whisper becomes a shout in 2021, Atwood Magazine praised Gracie and Rachel for their hushed, hauntingly intimate and fragile outpourings of self-expression: “A soft, stirring, moody immersion into the depths of self and sound, a whisper becomes a shout highlights the very best of the band as they embrace sonic tenderness and emotional vulnerability.” Gracie and Rachel © Landon Yost Actively releasing music since 2017 and friends for even longer, Gracie and Rachel is the New York-based duo of keyboardist Gracie Coates and violinist Rachel Ruggles, who for years now have been dazzling our ears with their vivid alt/indie pop music and pure, uninhibited expressions of the raw human experience.
