Girl Ray, my new favourite band

Oh excited to hear it!

New album's really enjoyable. Reminiscent of Saint Etienne circa 2000-2003 at times. From some of the publicity I thought they may have gone with an expensive techno production sheen but it's mostly got a great live feel.

St Etienne? Really? That is a band I never got into at all though I really tried. Girl Ray have the better voices, the catchier tunes and the greater variety. They are simply much more musical, do you say that in English?

I hear the Saint Etienne comparison - specifically, the poised restraint of Good Humour. But there's the same set of influences - 60s pop, electronica, the dreamier end of 80s indie - just, triangulated in a different way.

Naturally I adore this, the vocals are lovely and remind me of Tracey Thorn a lot. The production is great too, really spacious and warm.

Sometimes the singer reminds me of Nico. Newish LP is enjoyable

i got the t-shirt they wore on the last tour in berlin beginning of march just before corona broke out. awesome concert, down to earth and sympathetic people.
