'rarefaction' is a reference to sparseness & minimalism

"the band's prowess and charisma is rooted in far more
than production and superficial allusions to past artists."
--Joshua Heinrich, Grave Concerns

based in brooklyn since 2001, their sonic influences
range from electronica to folk, punk, noise & post-punk
to world music & classical.

"despairing melodies that sidle up to the hauntingly
beautiful voice and lyrics of this experimental band ...
Not for the faint of heart..." -Jess Shulist, Spill Magazine
(Live review from NXNE, Toronto, June 2006)

Angular, melancholic & spare, the tense soundscapes of
loss & despair draw largely on the styles of Joy Division,
early 4AD artists, & other giants of the post-punk era.

"A fascinating debut. Truly."--Mick Mercer

rarefaction was originally slated as the opening act for
New Days Delay [Bremen, Germany] on their much
delayed debut U.S. tour.

"sparse but atmospheric, and the songs are stripped-
down but well-constructed. I like this a lot."
--The One True Dead Angel

rarefaction's debut album - coming soon

"No one else is doing what you're doing."
--Polina Y., NY Decay/Drop Dead Fest
