Description

Yellow Vinyl, [w/ download card]. English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Love began her musical career in the late 70s with the legendary Dolly Mixture, a group of three teenage friends who subverted pretty much every rock cliche imaginable with their bright, energetic DIY pop music and created the template for countless non-dude bands since. No one used the words post-punk or indiepop back then, but Dolly Mixture are in the DNA of both.
Post Dolly Mixture, Rachel kept busy writing and playing music in various groups, leading in 2021 to "Picture In Mind," an elegantly pastoral sunshine/folk/indie pop album co-produced with her late husband Steve Lovell. Rachel's 2024 album "Lyra" was written and recorded as she processed Steve's passing, joined by her sons David and Syd as players, with David also co-producing. Musically "Lyra" is very much of a piece with "Picture In Mind," surveying intimate folk-tinged pop, elegant atmospheres and gentle melodicism that perfectly complements the stately, sorrowful tunes. Songs like "Without You," "Fly Me Away" and "April Love" are beautifully-effecting chamber pop, lush and dreamy odes to love, loss and family. Initially released as a limited edition on CD only, we're very happy to make "Lyra" more widely available worldwide on yellow vinyl LP and as a repackaged CD, alongside corresponding reissue of "Picture In Mind."
