Les RAV - "Darkest", from Darkest (2012). #UnitedStates #avant #indie #rock #singersongwriter

Lauren Bruno August 9, 2012

  In a set that’s oddly stacked with female folksters, orchestral pop band Les RAV stand out for a variety of reasons.  Frontwoman Lauren Bruno employs fascinating jazz inflections in her melodies, but delivers lines with emotional abandon.  Alone, this would be worth noting, but Les RAV specialize in a true form of orchestral folk.  Employing a string quartet masterfully on a few tracks or just mining traditional musical counterpoint on piano, there’s always that classical nature.  It doesn’t sound like an add-on as with many anthemic folk acts, rather the basis for which Les RAV’s quiet elegance can find a home.  Though Les RAV can be considered a ‘baby band’ on SXSW terms, they do hail from Austin and will hopefully bring at least a quartet as they gig throughout town in March.

We, Vesper, covered local Austin indie band, Les RAV. We are also working on a Kickstarter video for them.
