Press Reviews From "The Rocket" reviewed by Scott D. Lewis "Have you ever had a lucid, slightly scary dream that was so intriguing that you avoided waking in order to prolong the warped pleasure? L.Rain's impressive debut captures that fuzzy, fascinating feeling. Opener, 'LongCold Winter' begins with gentle, meticulous guitar chiming before her portentious, languid vocals slither right up alongside the music. The tempo and tension patiently build until your senses are completely taken over by the heady and strangely comforting din. L.Rain's penchant for deftly melding her emotive, textural vocals with the guitar-centered backdrop is evident throughout the album and secures the listener's complete immersion into the songs. The approach works just as well for the airy driftings of 'Free,' which is a lovely four minute heart break, as it does for the rousing 'Widow's Peak,' a song that cuts to the core with its disquiet confessions. 'Out of Chaos Comes'is a rich and well-produced introduction to an emerging talent who flawlessly sculpts sound into beautiful art."
