Rachael Yamagata is proud to announce her new studio album in almost ten years, Starlit Alchemy (<\/em><\/strong>pre-save<\/em><\/strong><\/a>)<\/em><\/strong>, due out on October 3rd via Jullian Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fiercely independent artist with a voice both instantly recognizable and emotionally unflinching, Rachael Yamagata first emerged in the early 2000s with her critically acclaimed debut Happenstance. Over the next two decades, she built a loyal following on the strength of her raw, cinematic songwriting and soul-baring live performances \u2013 releasing a string of beloved records including Elephants\u2026Teeth Sinking Into Heart, Chesapeake, and Tightrope Walker. Known for pairing bruising vulnerability with wry humor and unabashed grit, she\u2019s worked with artists as varied as Liz Phair, Toots and The Maytals, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams, and Bright Eyes, while consistently forging her own path outside the major label system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, she\u2019s returned with her most intuitive yet intentional work yet. Starlit Alchemy<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a collection of singles or an algorithmic playlist; it\u2019s a \u201cdeep dive record,\u201d as Yamagata calls it \u2013 a body of work meant to be heard in full. \u201cI always knew it was going to be a one song-flows-into-the-next album,\u201d she says. \u201cThe songs started as a compulsion to just express what I was going through and witnessing – only later did I realize the more cohesive story. It became a map made after the journey, not before. But it\u2019s all in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachael\u2019s first single \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Birds<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is out now. One journalist describes the track as \u201ca grief-soaked yet strangely buoyant meditation on signs, memory, and the metaphysical\u201d. Inspired by the sudden appearance of birds crashing into her window \u2013 and written for a cousin mourning the long-ago loss of his mother \u2013 it\u2019s a message song in disguise: Lyrically light, emotionally direct, and threaded with hope. \u201cThe extra layers of loneliness that exist when you lose somebody and still have to experience the craziness of this world struck me. For me, the veil between what\u2019s on the other side and what is here now is thin. It\u2019s a reminder to watch for the signs from those that have past \u2013 especially now when the world\u2019s gone crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of the album \u2013 one of personal loss and universal rediscovery \u2013 took shape slowly, over a few years of restructuring and creative risk. \u201cIt began as a stream of consciousness record and I actually did the first demos as a mini movie soundtrack played one after the other with linking interludes.\u201d And though the themes are heavy, the experience is anything but. Starlit Alchemy<\/em><\/strong> is not about bypassing pain, but evolving through it. \u201cIt\u2019s forensics for trauma AND beauty and the bittersweetness of the in tandem nature of both. Fear, loss, grief are major throughlines, but it\u2019s the magic of what happens when you immerse yourself fully into the experience that begins the alchemy. The strength forms during the surrender and what you once were is shed.\u201d  As for what it sounds like, Yamagata can only say \u201cPerhaps think of Tom Waits as Willy Wonka and Ricki Lee Jones as Dorothy in a soundscape mentored by Hans Zimmer and Joni Mitchell \u2013 from her Both Sides now album.  None of which I\u2019m well versed in by the way, so forgive any pretense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
