Goldray Feel The Change

Akashic Records

Riffs, riffs and more riffs from psych-rock stalwarts

Following up on 2017’s Rising,

Goldray have taken their soaring psychedelia to new highs with the release of their second album, Feel The Change.

Comprising the jaw‑droppingly talented guitarist Kenwyn House (of Reef fame) and ‘high priestess of hard rock’ vocalist Leah Rasmussen, the band decamped for the album’s recording from London to the Gothenburg‑based SpinRoad Recording Studios of multi‑platinum award‑winning co‑producer Pedro Ferreira (The Darkness, Therapy?, Meatloaf). Fittingly, their late 60s/early 70s psych‑rock roots have spread to encompass a more riff‑centric and heavy (but not quite metal) sound. The result is eight solid tracks of soulful, hard‑ hitting psychedelic prog‑rock that are sure to prise anyone’s third eye wide open. [RB]
