Untitled Album by Blessed Blood

"Very full in terms of texture and yet sparse -- not much besides voice -- at the same time. The non-vocal elements sound precisely chosen and placed, and there's a pervading sense of deep intention, of moving toward a destination. The more song-like lead vocal lines skirt the edge of intelligibility on "Take Off." Aside from some of the electronic sounds and effects, I would have a difficult time pinpointing when this was made, or where -- there are quasi-spiritual aspects, which lean toward neoclassical at moments, with some primitivist elements (that are actually very technically clean) -- a really dense intersection of references." - RM Francis


These first three tracks from Seattle's Blessed Blood are a document of a moment. They were recorded in May 2018 in Seattle, WA under the shadow of the Troll.

Blessed Blood is an electronics-based project by Seattle's Rachel LeBlanc. Utilizing hardware effects to expand upon the natural resonances of singing, she processes harmonies into ecstatic hymns, wherein ethereal vocals glide above pulsations and sharp angles. The sound is informed by the PNW, traditional world music, and the exploration of history both personal and cultural.
