The Mystery Keys
The Mystery Keys play songs by Rachel Lears, who has been writing songs since childhood and teaching herself guitar since not much later. At one stage, for seven years she stopped listening to music by and for middle class white kids, opting instead to study classical flute and avant-garde jazz in college and then a master’s degree in ethnomusicology. Eventually she reconnected with her roots and from 2002-2005 performed and recorded with the electroacoustic synthpop band Hands in Pockets
