ON WAVE OF ACCLAIM FOR SOLO ALBUM 'RED COATS' (END UP RECORDS), FORMER RAINER MARIA SINGER/BASSIST CAITHLIN DE MARRAIS PLANS TOUR

Former Rainer Maria singer/bassist Caithlin De Marrais has earned acclaim for her solo album 'Red Coats,' out next week on End Up Records, and is planning a tour.

"Beguiling." – The New Yorker

"Sparse, elegiac pop." – New York Times

"It reduces her old band’s emo-rock blare to a quieter roar, surrounding de Marrais’ uncommonly expressive singing with tense little clicks and buzzes, slyly destabilizing where Rainer Maria once aimed to knock off socks." – Village Voice

"A crawl of brittle guitar on 'Birds,' a shivering synth on 'City Girl,' de Marrais' shyly pretty voice -- are given a chance to gleam, as they cluster shyly around her more forceful, composed bass lines." - SPIN

"Most tracks meld lush strings with catchy pop hooks that bring to mind the best of Rainer Maria." –New York Post
