Description

Cutthroat Pop Records celebrates the release of its first seasonal album!!

This holiday EP is a haunting collection of impressionistic vignettes
perfect for a snowy winter's eve by the fire.

These songs were written by Rachel on a Sunday in Oct. '06 and were recorded, mixed and mastered by Jeff Stuart Saltzman at his house during three days in fall.

ABOUT ORMOLU:
"If singer-songwriter Rachel Taylor Brown's third release, "Ormolu," needed to be summed up in a single word, it would have to be "melancholic." But "pensive" could work well, too, as would "brooding," or to keep it simple, "sad." And "beautiful" would be apt as well.....And that's the difficult artistic trick Brown has pulled off with "Ormolu." She's managed to construct a quick listen that feels almost epic, an album that demands to be encountered and examined again and again."
Scott D. Lewis, The Oregonian
******************************************************************************
"Its not surprising that Rachel Taylor Brown sings with a couple of local classical groups when shes not performing as a solo artist or playing in her friends bands. Her voice sounds pure and gorgeous; her songwriting and sparse, piano-based arrangements are classic. Ormolu...a collection of hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking songs illuminate what happens when love turns into something poisonous and people turn into something other than what we wanted."
Barbara Mitchell, The Portland Tribune
******************************************************************************
"Brown never loses the humanity of each of the characters she creates, in the same way that Breugel could record our follies while also expressing the love he felt for our silly species. As with her past releases, Brown exercises her considerable range as a vocalist, reminding us of her classical work and her ability to put that to use to create dark expressionist tonal worlds like the ones found on Ormolu. Think Randy Newman meets Stravinsky."
Dave Mazza, The Portland Alliance
******************************************************************************
...uncompromising in her writing, willing to imbue her songs with the artful attack of dissonance, storm and stress, and lyrics that will rip your heart out. Part madwoman in the attic, part pop-diva, Rachel is a crazy talent.
Chris Robley (The Sort Ofs, Fear of Heights), Cutthroat Pop Records
