Rachael Yamagata - Starlit Alchemy [LP] Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. Rachael Yamagata is proud to announce her 2025 studio album in almost ten years, Starlit Alchemy (pre-save), due out on October 3rd via Jullian Records. A fiercely independent artist with a voice both instantly recognizable and emotionally unflinching, Rachael Yamagata first emerged in the early 2000s with her critically acclaimed debut Happenstance. Over the next two decades, she built a loyal following on the strength of her raw, cinematic songwriting and soul-baring live performances - releasing a string of beloved records including Elephants... Teeth Sinking Into Heart, Chesapeake, and Tightrope Walker. Known for pairing bruising vulnerability with wry humor and unabashed grit, she's worked with artists as varied as Liz Phair, Toots and The Maytals, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams, and Bright Eyes, while consistently forging her own path outside the major label system. Now, she's returned with her most intuitive yet intentional work yet. Starlit Alchemy isn't a collection of singles or an algorithmic playlist; it's a "deep dive record," as Yamagata calls it - a body of work meant to be heard in full."
