pre order item *New Release* STREAM OF YOUTH / BLANK WORLD EL065 Label: EARTH LIBRARIES Fantasy and science-fiction are often treated as an escape from reality, but in the heart of those fantastic worlds lie prescient truths about our world. On the other side of that coin, some of the world’s greatest aesthetic beauty comes in the form of raw science. The new album from Birmingham, Alabama’s WRAY vibrates at the intersection of those dichotomies and others—hope and pessimism, wild and composed, joy and pain. There is no light without dark, no dark without light, a concept which birthed the dual record Stream of Youth / Blank World. Having received accolades from everyone from The New York Times to MOJO – alongside appearances on MTVu and Daytrotter – their penchant for adventurous music-making will pay big dividends in the years to come. 1.
