"But I'm writing more songs now, so I'm hoping to make another record when I get back." So I'll definitely be on the road until December," Angel says. I'm going to hang in Asheville and play in Nashville. "I'm going to New York and will make my way back. "The night's going to be a good representation of the record."Īfter that show, Angel plans to spend much of the remainder of 2022 on the road. I was on a solo tour for months, so I'm really excited to play the songs with a band," she says. That song and all the others from her debut will be heard at the album release party at the Anderson on Saturday, October 7. There's lines like, ' Tomorrow I'll be on the sinking train' and ' Wherever the land meets the water.' I don't mean to disrespect the families of people who died, but I felt there were weird connections." It felt like that song channeled what was going on there, even though I wrote it before. "I live right next to Surfside, where the building collapsed. "While I was writing that song, I felt I was channeling something that wasn't my story," Angel explains. She admits the vibrations that planted the seeds for the song "I Need Love" weirded her out. Though she cautions, "I don't sit down and say I'm going to write about a specific thing. Her songwriting process involves cranking out the melody first, and then the lyrics come out of a stream of consciousness. Angel says much of the album reflects on challenging times and how she found the impetus to dive inward. The album's title, Midnite Heart Attack, points to the themes of anxiety and emotional hardships. I isolated myself in my apartment in Miami Beach and went through an intense creative spurt. "I was newly sober and living alone for the first time.
"I was going through a lot of personal issues," Angel says. Upon her return, she started writing the nine songs that made up Midnite Heart Attack. "I couldn't hear myself think anymore in New York," she adds. "At 18, I moved to California and then to New York City."Īfter a while, she felt her creativity stifled by New York City and returned to South Florida. I got out as soon as I could," Angel says. "When I was young, I really hated it here. Am I close about your inspirations ) - Very cool track. It's also the city she spurned as soon as she could after graduating high school. This ballad-part reminded me of Zakk Wyldes In This River, and then it kinda went into modern Maiden. It's where she learned to sing, where her older siblings got her into Bob Dylan and Neutral Milk Hotel, and where she first picked up the guitar at age 16. "Any time I go out, I meet the coolest people."īut Miami is where her roots are.
I don't like all the flashy stuff, but there's an extraordinary community," she explains. Though Angel was born and raised in South Florida, she has a love/hate relationship with her hometown. "A lot of the songs come from dreams or a dream-like state," Angel tells New Times. But before the song's end, there's the shred of an electric guitar played in reverse, giving it a less earthy, more surreal effect fitting from where the album found its inspiration. Rachel Angel's croon on the title track of her debut album Midnite Heart Attack has a distinctly country music twang.
