Rachel Garlin’s new release The Ballad of Madelyne & Therese (July 2023) is a soundtrack for the story of forbidden love. Thirteen songs artfully slung together with hemp-rope and heart, the album hangs, swings and carries its weight like a messenger bag across your back. Delivering notes from the present day, yes, but also subtly illuminating the year 1940 when certain couples - like Madelyne and Therese - could only love each other undercover, in code, in the margins of bars, or bravely and occasionally, right under the stars.
