Chris Rael CHURCH OF BETTY

1992, Fang Records: In 1991 Rael departed to Varanasi, India for almost a year, studying music and traveling all over South Asia. This album reflects what he brought back, including song stylings based on the classical music techniques he learned, folk stylings he heard all over India and Nepal, Indian popular music of the time, and field recordings from all over the country. All these influences are baked into his own conceptually confrontational rock n roll and progressive song structures. Primarily a Rael solo album, with rich contributions from the great Jan Kotik and a cast of cameo guests. DOWNLOAD HERE
