• Church of Betty: Fruit on the Vine Church Of Betty is a New York City band that incorporates the best elements of prog-rock, psych, and rhythm driven Indian classical music. Comparisons to artists ranging from XTC to Todd Rundgren have been bandied about. Dubbed by Magnet magazine as purveyors of "urban psychedlia", The Village Voice recently proclaimed that Church of Betty leader, Chris Rael, "pulls off the raga-rock gambit better than any Western guitar guy, ever." And Cover magazine notes that Church of Betty delivers the goods "without coming off like drippy neo-hippies." Produced by Chris Rael and longtime collaborator Danny Kadar, and featuring 10 guest musicians, Fruit on the Vine finds Church of Betty taking on the broad palette that makes up their signature sound, from the Indian folk pulse of the album's opener, "The Magic In You" to the proggy-psych-pop of "Tail End of A Dream" to the orchestrated and lush "Monolith." Reviews: "Irresistible…Pronouncements of cosmic unity set to sliding, scalloped phrases that shape Hindustani phrases to the concision of pop hooks." -Jon Pareles, The New York Times "This CD is incredible; I've been playing it over and over for days – just remarkable!" -Danny Fields, author, editor, former manager of The Stooges, The Ramones, and The Modern Lovers, former record label company freak, all-around cool guy "Church of Betty add emotional sophistication to peerless Indipop on their new Fruit on the Vine…Chris Rael pulls off the raga-rock gambit better than any Western, guitar guy ever." -Richard Gehr, The Village Voice "Fruit on the Vine just sounds better and better with each successive playing…this stunningly talented group of musicians will meet with more of the success they've already had." -Oxygen.com/Girlson.com "A sitar playing mastermind" - Billboard "Visionary" - Seven Days (Burlington, Vt) "Musical and cultural fusion of the first order." - Boston Herald "Church of Betty recall an era where experimentation with exotic sounds was the norm and not a novelty." - Cover   1.
