No me neither - A description from Wiki describing the music of Gemma Ray. They also use the terms noir-pop, sideways blues and gothic folk. I clearly have to get out more.
Of her seven albums I only have the first one The Leader from 2008. I featured it before and it was interesting to see if the same songs jumped out at me this time. Yes and no is the answer.
Track 5 Rise of the Runts caught my attention as it did the last time along with Hard Shoulder. But I was also taken with On Your Own.
A post a day means I am probably going to be re-visiting old material more often and I'm not sure whether I will be able to maintain my enthusiasm and motivation but we'll see how it goes.
Gemma Ray - Hard Shoulder
Gemma Ray - On Your Own
Must be 'acts with the word Ray in their name Friday' today. We've gone with Girl Ray today.

Spooky!
DeleteGood stuff. Saw her live last year and I was hardly impressed. And I know how hard it is to keep the blog alive daily.

He's not joking!
DeleteSideways Blues is a good genre description.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know anything about her until The Robster posted a great ICA on JC's site. Well worth getting to know.
