Singles of the Week (19//22)

1) Trauma Ray - Transmissions 

 

News from nu-gaze Fort Worth, Texas 

releases May 14, 2022 

Songs written and performed by Trauma Ray Instrumentation recorded by Elliott Page Vocals recorded by Brandon Sanders Mixed and Mastered by Zac Montez Trauma Ray is a North Texas rock band formed in early spring of 2018. The debut self-titled EP and singles wmd and grind coalesce to define the group’s artistic direction: a blend of 90’s alternative and modern shoegaze. Trauma Ray’s live performances push listeners up against a wall of ear-piercing fuzz and reverb while swirling them into a trance of self reflection. The inner struggle of love, loss, anger, and growth fuel the band’s energy on  stage and in the studio.

5) My Neighbour Toronto - My Neighbour Toronto 

 

 

 I'm so tired as a write this but here goes - My Neighbour Toronto is kind of chiptune meets emo/screamo - bitcrushed riffs and twiddles under barely-tuneful yelps. 

We hope it soundtracks your lone drives and sad parties and nights where you sit and talk and slowly fall in love.
