Rainbow Girls
“Santa Anna”
San Francisco trio Rainbow Girls (Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey, Vanessa May) make an offering to Mother Nature in “Santa Anna,” a track named for the windy weather phenomenon that affects California each autumn. The soft, string-laced folk track, perfect for fans of Phoebe Bridgers and John Craigie, also asks humanity to respond to climate change and the increasing prevalence and severity of climate disasters. It’s ”a prayer for us to reframe our relationship to natural disasters,” says May — asking listeners “to lean in and take responsibility.” – Annie Parnell
