2025 Charity Shop Purchases #21 - Rachel Sermani - Under Mountains
Mrs CC and I have long been admirers of Carrbridge's finest Rachel Sermanni
By my reckoning we have seen her three times - at the MacIntosh Church, Paisley Arts Centre and very briefly at the Royal Concert Hall when she was a support act at Celtic Connections. It was even more brief for me as I had a coughing fit and had to leave the auditorium for a chunk of her set.
She has not been the most prolific of artists having only released 5 albums since 2012 (one a live one) and half a dozen EPs. Up until now we only had 2015's Tied to the Moon.
Therefore I was quite chuffed to pick up her 2012 debut Under Mountains on Middle of Nowhere Recordings.. It could probably be described as quirky indie folk which lets face it is no bad thing. Amazon note her ethereal sound and crystal clear purity. IGigs highlights that the lyrics are full of imagination and substance.
Well worth a listen.
Coughing fits and ethereal sounds are not a good match

DeleteI get a Laura Marling feel about these 2 tracks - prefer Waltz of the two. I bet newer or lesser known artists get really naffed off when people say things like they "get a Laura Marling (insert any celebrated name) feeling" about their work. Sorry, Rachel.
