Beauty In Chaos release 'Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)' featuring Ashton Nyte and Whitney Tai
Los Angeles-based alt-rock collective Beauty In Chaos have unveiled their latest video and single “Made Of Rain (Almost Acoustic)”, featuring Ashton Nyte (The Awakening) and Whitney Tai. The song is drawn from their newly released double CD album “Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down”, out now via 33.3 Music Collective.
Directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films, the video presents a reimagining of the original song from “Dancing With Angels”.
The collective’s latest deluxe album features 29 tracks, including reworked versions from “Dancing With Angels” and two additional tributes: “Children Of The Revolution” (with Ministry’s Al Jourgensen) and “Open Your Eyes”, inspired by T.Rex and The Lords of the New Church.
“Ashton and Whitney’s ‘duet’ is simply stunning,” says Ciravolo. “I love the track’s minimalistic approach, highlighted by Michael Rozon’s haunting pedal steel and Heather Lockie’s tasteful violin.” He adds that this version allows Ashton’s words and melody to “take the starring role.”
Ashton Nyte adds: “‘Made Of Rain’ is a song of hope. It is about getting up and trying again despite the scars life can leave. This ‘almost acoustic version’ is very dear to me. I love the organic elements… making it something transcendental.”
Whitney Tai, a frequent BIC collaborator, calls the duet “a warm amber glow in a velveteen speakeasy… what made this collab special for me is the friendship that Michael, Ashton and I share. We are family, and making art with feeling is at the forefront of our passions.”
The track credits include Ciravolo on electric guitar, Rozon on pedal steel, Tish Ciravolo on acoustic bass, Heather Lockie on violin, Dirk Doucette on percussion, and Taylor Vlasaty as the flower girl.
“Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down” is available digitally and as a limited-edition double CD.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
