Song(s) of the Day # 1,756 Rays


Rays are from California, but it's clear from the very first notes of their latest album You Can Get There From Here that they should really trail from Dunedin, New Zealand, so impeccable is their recreation of the Flying Nun Record Label sound.


This is not unusual, the feel of those seminal records can be heard everywhere in Indie music these days, far dwarfing the impact it actually had during the Eighties. Rays complete thrall to the sensibility of those original Chills, Clean, Verlaine, Bats and Look Blue Go Purple records limits their appeal but there are far worse slbums to spend forty minutes of your time with than You Can Get There From Here.
