SONS OF RAPHAEL
Sons of Raphael is a musical project by sibling artists Loral and Ronnel Raphael.
Sons of Raphael released their debut record 'Full-Throated Messianic Homage' in 2021 through Because Music.
The record, produced and arranged by the Raphael brothers at Electro-Vox Recording Studios[1] , took 7 years to complete and features a full symphonic orchestra in a grand wall of sound type production which was allegedly financed through betting on NBA games since their record label refused to fund it. [2] [3]
It was mixed in Paris for over 3 months by producer Philippe Zdar of Cassius, who died a day after finishing mixing the record. [4] The record was released in his memory with a lamentation poem written by Ronnel, 'A Kaddish Over Death'.
The album's artwork was painted by the acclaimed Russian painter and novelist Maxim Kantor [1]
Upon its release, the album gained critical acclaim with praise from publications including the Sunday Times Culture, The Times, Le Monde, Clash, Rolling Stone, Les Inrocks. [5] [6] [7] [8]
The band rarely plays live. Sons of Raphael toured with Charlotte Gainsbourg, as well as with French group Phoenix (band) in 2022. [11] [12]
In 2023 Sons of Raphael composed original music for Sofia Coppola’s upcoming film Priscilla, their first music for the cinema. [13]
