Since their formation in 2015, Brooklyn-based duo Rachael & Vilray have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical.

On their third album, West of Broadway, vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Vilray evolve their music’s previous dreaminess, bringing a refreshing angularity with left-of-center instrumentation, including vibraphone and alto saxophone above the moody strains of baritone sax and trombone.

Produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell, Bahamas), West of Broadway unfolds in sharply drawn vignettes inspired by a recent fascination with classic musicals, bringing their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache along city streets.

Recorded at Sear Sound in Manhattan, West of Broadway took shape with renowned musicians including saxophonist Steve Wilson and drummer John Riley. Across 10 tracks, standouts include “Love Comes Around,” “My Key to Gramercy Park,” and “Off Broadway,” featuring Stephen Colbert.

Thanks in large part to the colorful detail and extravagant personality of Rachael & Vilray’s storytelling, West of Broadway immerses the audience in an exquisitely out-of-time vision of their beloved New York City.
