The 4th person to email us at starkny@gmail.com wins two tickets to see Gemma Ray TONIGHT (Monday) at Joe's Pub at 9:30pm. "Ray "has a truly impressive feel for vintage pop flourishes" (Spin). She recently released It's A Shame About Gemma Ray (Bronzerat), an all-covers album that includes unusual selections by composers from George and Ira Gershwin to Sonic Youth to Lee Hazlewood to The Gun Club. Ray's versions often bear little resemblance to the originals. Instead, they're reinventions of songs, taken from her memory." See the [...]
Described as "an eerie aural kaleidoscope that conjures up thoughts of what an album by Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las produced by David Lynch would have sounded like", Gemma Ray 's new release synthesizes a whole slew of retro references into a cinematic psychedelic sound. Spot on and oh so good, the London lady's bringing her show to NYC and I want to send you for free! [...]
Frank Yang While most festivals save their biggest names for the final night, recent years have seen SxSW kind of stagger to the finish line. Everyone is exhausted, bands want to get the hell out of town ASAP and most just want it to all be over. There was supposed to be an exception to this rule in the Big Star show at Antone's, but with the tragic passing of Alex Chilton earlier this week, that showcase became a tribute concert and if possible, an even bigger draw. So much so that festival [...]
featuring The Balconies, Ghostkeeper, Gypsophilia, Gemma Ray, Krupke and Boats So basically I'm an idiot. Even though I read and reread the CMF schedule over several times, I was still convinced that The Balconies and Ghostkeeper were going to be hitting the Criminal Records instore on THURSDAY, which meant that I would be unable to see them, but very much able to catch Dan Mangan , Aidan Knight and Hollerado at that very same store on the FRIDAY, which had me very excited.

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Even though she's still rolling out some material from her latest record , 'Lights Out Zoltar,' British songstress Gemma Ray isn't slowing down anytime soon. She tells Spinner that she recorded a record of all covers last fall at Matt Verta-Ray's studio on New York City's Lower East Side. Verta-Ray -- of rockabilly punk duo Heavy Trash -- is known to have a large collection of vintage recording gear that Gemma Ray's retro-surf sound could only excel under. [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive On Gemma Ray 's latest record, 'Lights Out Zoltar!,' she leads with a track called '100mph (in 2nd Gear),' a song that's steeped in a southwestern sound with Ray's sweeping voice sounding quite panic stricken. For the accompanying video, she takes a page from the David Lynch storybook, creating a surreal yet loose narrative of a lounge singer who's in some sort of wild dream state. She winds up with her getting into a car with a mysterious stranger, who just [...]

Essex born-and-bred beauty Gemma Ray is a singer-songwriter with a difference: her songs beguile you in the same way classic melodies do, yet somehow defy comparison. The heart-on-sleeve craftswomanship of her tunes allows full rein to roller-coasting intensity and twisted humour as she wraps her velvety vocals around little gems of pop, country, blues and gospel-inflected beauty. Such is the breathtaking scope of this album that its epic multi-layered sound has, you assume, the dedicated workforce of a full blown orchestra behind it, yet this beguiling mix of pop, country and blues is the work of Gemma Ray at home [...]

It's a Shame…
Frekvens vil så småt forsøge at komme op i omdrejninger igen ovenpå en veloverstået Roskilde Festival. Vi kan godt lide bands og kunstnere der har styr på deres referencer. Alene af den grund, vil vi gerne piske en lille stemning op om den britiske sangerinde Gemma Ray, der udsender sit debutalbum den 26. juli og bliver sammenlignet med ingen ringere end Dusty Springfield og godt kunne være den næste succes-/soulfulde sangerinde fra England, i kølevandet på folk som Amy Winehouse og Duffy. Tjek hendes myspaceside for smagsprøver på hendes album, "It's A Shame About Gemma Ray"...

Daily Video: Gemma Ray - '100 mph (in 2nd Gear)'
We love the whole eerie David Lynch-ian feel to Gemma Ray 's video for her song "100 mph (in 2nd Gear) -- from Lights Out Zoltar! -- a surreal atmosphere that perfectly complements the music's vintage twangy charm with a hint of creeping menace. From her 2009, imaginatively titled album Lights Out Zoltar . As an added treat, Ray fans can look forward to May 18 when the U.K. singer/songwriter releases It's A Shame About Gemma Ray , a collection of odd and wondrous covers from the likes of Sonic Youth, Lee Hazelwood and [...]

SXSW 2010: Gemma Ray
Filed under: Concerts and Tours Gemma Ray isn't your average SXSW performer. For one she doesn't really like festivals, and for another her brooding blend of melodramatic 50s inspired pop and dark theatrics are somewhat far away from Austin, Texas' high temperatures and blazing sunshine. She chatted to Spinner just a few days before jetting out to the US. Describe your music. Lavish. How did your band form? It [...]
