Birmingham, Alabama’s Wray will return with their new album Youth / Blank World on June 5th via Earth Libraries. Back in March we shared with you an earlier single from the album in “Jogging / Neon Forming.”
The band has since returned with “Wishing,” another atmospheric and moody new single ahead of the album’s release next month. It captures a specific tone and mindset that at times reminds of some of the moodier textures of acts like Interpol.
The band describe the track as follows:
This song came from many attempts to build something out of a single melody; the chorus. We tried different rhythms and ideas on verse. It always wanted to be dark, poorly lit, overtly lustful, and seedy. Ultimately, the feeling is hopeful when the melody returns. The synth lines, singy backing vocals and bouncy tribal beat morphed this song in the studio. Wishing is transcending.
Enjoy a listen to “Wishing” below.
