Birmingham, Alabama, based Wray is a rare band that effortlessly blends intelligent sonic pluralities into a seamless whole without losing any DIY grit. The shoegaze trio revealed their newest single “Pined” in anticipation of their upcoming Hypatia LP release this Friday January 15 on Communicating Vessels. The track features singer/bassist David Brown’s ghostly vocals set to steady, charging percussion and dark, lurid harmonies.

Hypatia is co-produced by the band with Lynn Bridges (Jack Oblivian, Devendra Banhart, Dan Sartain), mixed by Daniel Farris (Man or Astroman?, St. Vincent, Azure Ray), and mastered by Paul Logus (Public Enemy, Anthrax). The album will be available on vinyl, cd, and digital formats – complete with brilliantly conceived album art by New Zealand-born/New York-based Tamaryn, and Shaun Durkan, from San Francisco’s Weekend – on January 15 with supporting tours.
