SCAD Radio volunteer Elliot Ferro interviewed Sara Rachele (ra-kelly), a rising star on the alt-country scene.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your next album <\/strong>Scorpio Moon<\/em><\/strong> is out May 31st. Can you describe the new LP in one sentence?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sara Rachele- Like Emmylou Harris fell down a well and turned into Alice in Wonderland<\/em>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your music combines a lot of elements from folk, country, and pop rock. How do you pull it all together to make the style that you like?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up listening to a lot of \u201860s pop and for me, the music that I listen to directly informs what I write. I grew up in the South and growing up in Georgia, it sounds a little bit like Americana, but then listening to a lot of old music makes it sound [older]. I think that\u2019s why it comes off as a little folk, a little Americana, a little old school.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an age where more musicians are creating music that’s more slowed down and chill, how does your music fit into that landscape?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just kinda ignore the landscape. I don\u2019t know, but I imagine if you ask other artists who are making more dreamy, studio-based music, they\u2019d probably say they ignore it, too. They just make what they wanna make. So for me, I just make what I wanna make.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your lyrics can be really melancholic. Do they come from lived experience or are they impersonal and just there to help set the mood of a song?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends, I generally write from stories of my own. If they\u2019re not autobiographical, I\u2019ll write some stories I have heard, stories that I find interesting to tell. On this album [Scorpio Moon<\/em>], there\u2019s songs that have previously been recorded by other recording artists, but beyond that, these songs are autobiographical in nature.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who would you want to collaborate with in the future?<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, man. There\u2019s so many people! Anybody? Alive or dead? Phil Spector. Which I know is impossible, but you never know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(laughs)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Instagram is very eccentric; lots of black and white photos with interesting quotes. What thought goes behind the posts you make?<\/strong>
I grew up in a family of artists, like, visual artists. I\u2019m a pretty terrible digital artist. I like photography a lot, so a lot of what\u2019s on my Instagram<\/a> is stuff that I\u2019ve shot myself. A lot of that is stuff that I find interesting artistically, whether it\u2019s something I\u2019m working on, something I\u2019m going through, but I love monochrome and I feel really at home with analog music recording as well as 35mm film. I think what goes behind that is a large question, but I\u2019d love to do a photo show at some point and delve a little bit more into how that goes. I write poetry outside of my music, that\u2019s a place where I kind of connect words, visuals, and music altogether. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
