Los Angeles-based duo Sarah & Collin make music steeped in layered texture and immersive atmosphere, putting them in conversation with sweeping film scores as much as their art pop, industrial, and new age influences. Bandmates Sarah Yocute and Collin Simas worked separately to write each of the songs on This Time, their forthcoming debut album, before melding their ideas together during recording sessions in Bodega Bay and Collin’s basement studio. Using a limited instrumental palette, they craft sprawling soundscapes in an intimate space, with producer Chris Sorem (Rufus Wainwright, Gabby Moreno, Local Natives) helping to add fine details to the track’s winding interiors.

Earlier this year, the pair shared the album’s lead single, “Today,” and next month they’re set to share the full record. Today, they’re back with another new track, “She Made The Rain,” premiering with Under the Radar.

“She Made The Rain” is a work of both flickering melodic beauty and shadowy abyssal depths, moving in a mercurial dance between contrasting tones. The track opens on an insistent pulsing note, soon joined by a fingerpicked acoustic guitar melody and Collin’s dreamy harmonized vocals. As the song’s amorphous structure winds on, it ascends atop imposing, rumbling sonics, layered together for maximum dramatic heft. Yet, the track also feels finely detailed, dotted with twinkling melodic flourishes, warm acoustic tones, and prickling atmospheric production. In the middle of the track, it detours into an entrancing chanted section, building the track to its most chaotic moment, only to pull back soon after and let all the instrumentation fall away. After another set of steady, metronomic pulses, Collin’s vocals return for a final lyrical denouement: “She made my day / And then I said something that made her go away.”

Collin says of the track, “I got rain-checked, and it humbled me, hopefully. A year later, I met up with her and showed her the song, and she didn’t like it. I never saw her again.”
