4	Rachel Sermanni (born 7 November 1991) is a [[FolkMusic "folk-noir"]] artist from Strathspey, [[UsefulNotes/BonnieScotland Scotland]]. Active since 2010, she has produced two studio albums as well as a live album and a number of extended plays, primarily under the equally Scottish indie label ''Middle Of Nowhere''. [[note]]Which is something of a MeaningfulName when one considers how sparsely populated that area of Scotland is.[[/note]] She is known for her sparse and moody sound, smoky voice and bizarre, fairy-tale imagery in her lyrics, which are [[WordOfGod apparently]] inspired by [[BasedOnADream her own dreams.]]

6	Her first album, ''Under Mountains'', is much folkier than the second, [[NewSoundAlbum ''Tied To The Moon,'']] which has more of a rock flavor.

11	%%zce* DeadpanSnarker: Shows shades of this in concerts.
12	* OminousFog: A whole song about it: ''The Fog''.
13	** Although this fog could be interpreted as a visualization of a [[SanitySlippageSong gradual loss of control.]]
14	* RereleaseTheSong: The [=EPs=] ''The Boathouse Sessions'' and ''Everything Changes'' share two tracks: ''Black Hole'' and ''Two Birds''.
15	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: In some of her music videos and press releases, as well as gigs.
16	* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. She has quite a quiet and polite stage presence between songs, but her music can be [[NightmareSequence quite]] [[SurrealHorror disturbing.]]
17	* SpookyPainting: The cover of ''Under Mountains'' sports a bed with a face—an [[EyelessFace eyeless]] one at that. Oh, and the hills have eyes.
18	* SurrealHorror: A common theme in her music.
19	** ''The Fog''.
20	-->"''Under skies of pressing sky upon my dress,''\
21	"''Watch it turn from white to red under the bone clean moon,''\
22	"''I am clinging to this burning, shaking bed...''"
23	** ''I've Got A Girl'' sounds like a light-hearted love song. [[SubvertedTrope For a few seconds.]]
24	*** It's actually about a creepy doppelgänger [[BasedOnADream she encountered in a nightmare.]]
