History

Since its formation in 1996, Rachael's Surrender has gone through a variety of incarnations and manifestations. Starting out as an outlet for Reuben Chew's moody, ethereal compositions, the project has expanded over the years to include a variety of collaborators including Elysabeth Grant (Black Tape for a Blue Girl), Michael Verzani (The Lusties, Soulscape) and Tre Beud (Arch Visceral Palor) . Previous releases include 1998's Within The Tears of Winter, 2001's Summer, and 2004's EP RS. With each album, Rachael's Surrender has experimented with new sounds and styles, from the rich sonic textures of Within the Tears of Winter to the melodic and melancholy pop-rock of RS.

Asteroid Love Song is the latest full-length offering from Rachael's Surrender, now composed of Reuben Surrender and singer-songwriter Liz Nickrenz. Combining Reuben's sophisticated electronic arrangements and thoughtful composition with Liz's quirky storytelling and angelic vocals, Asteroid Love Song provides a fresh take on synth-pop for the 21st century.

This special deluxe edition also includes a bonus CD that contains the RS EP plus 2006's limited release The Jackpot Face featuring Reuben, Michael, Liz and Elysabeth.
