Wray Teams with Noisey on 'Relative' & Free MP3

What do you expect from a band that boasts its inspiration from, "Dreamlike frequencies, sonic colors, ritualism, stagnation, repetition, movement and cohesiveness." Tracks like "Relative," which Noisey describes as, "dream pop into shoegaze and noise rock, separating tides of aggressive cymbal clashing from calming, lo-fi vocals," fill their self-titled debut, outJuly 15 on Communicating Vessels. It was recorded in their hometown of Birmingham, Alabama at Ol Elgante Studio. With mastermind engineer Daniel Farris (Man Or Astro-man?, St. Vincent, Polyphonic Spree, Verbena) at the helm, they managed to capture the atmospheric beauty that comes with every live show they play.

Wray is David Brown, Blake Wimberly, and David Swatzell. Though they are new, their involvement in the music community starts over a decade ago with such bands as Last Flight In, Comrade, Nightmare Waterfall, and a handful of other projects you might not have had the chance to see if "punk rock" just isn't your scene. But this project is something you don't want to miss.

This summer and fall, Wray will be touring the United States with surf rock legends Man or Astro-Man?
