Rainbow Body is a new musical collaboration featuring Taylor Goldsmith and Griff Goldsmith (Dawes), Rick Mitarotonda (Goose), Eric Krasno (Lettuce, Soulive), Ross James (Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band), and Adam MacDougall (Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Circles Around the Sun), with special appearances from Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Company, The Allman Brothers Band) and Nicki Bluhm. They have announced their self-titled debut album, Rainbow Body, which will be available digitally via Flóki Studios, with distribution by No Coincidence Records & Secretly Distribution, on 23rd October 2026. A limited-edition vinyl release will follow on 8th January 2027.
Created in partnership with Quoia, a new alliance of industry stewards committed to protecting nature, Rainbow Body began as part of Quoia’s inaugural Quoia Session, which invites artists to come to the wildest places on Earth, listen to the wisdom of the land and those living closest to it, and channel new sounds shaped by those places. In January 2026, the Goldsmiths, Mitarotonda, Krasno, James and MacDougall gathered in Topanga Canyon to spend time together and write a record. A month later, the session continued at Flóki Studios, located near the Arctic Circle on a converted sheep farm in Northern Iceland. Together, Rainbow Body recorded the album’s eight original tracks, moving freely between psychedelic rock, Americana, soul, folk and open-ended improvisation, ultimately creating an original sound that feels both timeless and adventurous.
“Part of this project is that we hope to create awareness around certain things that people would not normally know are happening in the world,” says Krasno. “That it can be kind of a backdrop for coming together on these issues and people collaborating in different ways to help the world.”
Quoia invites artists to come to the wildest places on Earth, listen to the land and those living closest to it, and channel new sounds shaped by those places. The sounds we create together raise awareness and funds for conservation of wild places. It is a living creative ecosystem. It grows through collaboration, adapts through creativity, and exists to restore harmony with the natural world.
Pre-orders/pre-saves are available from this link. Proceeds from Rainbow Body will benefit the North Atlantic Salmon Fund, a non-profit conservation organisation dedicated to Atlantic salmon and marine biodiversity.
Rainbow Body is trailing the album’s arrival with the premiere of the first single, Strange Memory, and its official music video. “Strange Memory takes place on a highway that doesn’t end,” says Taylor Goldsmith. “When you can’t remember what you’re running from and you can’t remember what you set out to find.”
