Rachel Shearer – Oro O Te Ao (LP Vinyl)

Rachel Shearer's work sits at a rare intersection of experimental composition and deep cultural grounding, drawing on her New Zealand roots and a practice that resists easy categorization. *Oro O Te Ao* translates roughly to "the sound of the world," and that ambition plays out across a record that rewards patient, attentive listening. For fans of artists who treat the album format as a complete statement rather than a collection of tracks, this one earns your time.
