Rachel Lloyd

Rachel Lloyd works as a solo alt-electro artist, writing and producing her own material with occasional help from other musicians. Her debut album 'Unprepared' came out early on and found a small but dedicated audience. Songs like 'Breather 2000' and 'Little Things' show her leaning into atmospheric production with vocals that drift over the electronics.

She's mentioned classical cello and indie rock as influences, which might explain some of the texture in her work. The music tends to be introspective, dealing with personal themes that have sometimes drawn attention for their directness. Later albums like 'Mute' and 'The Burden of Grief' continued in a similar vein.

Lloyd has worked with a few outside artists, including David Lynch and Trent Reznor on some projects. Her catalog stays fairly consistent, you can hear it in tracks like 'By Your Side' or 'Sunrise', built around moody electronics and her own voice carrying the melody.
