Girl Ray detail debut LP Earl Grey and share new track "Preacher"
London trio Girl Ray have announced their debut record Earl Grey and unwrapped another high calibre preview, "Preacher".
The album includes already-heard tracks "Stupid Things" and "Where Am I Now", and sees 19-year-old Poppy Hankin, Iris McConnell, and Sophie Moss expand upon their vintage-flecked pop brilliance.
"I wrote the melody for the first part a few years ago on a little toy Elvis guitar that I bought in a charity shop," explains Hankin of the new track. "Its tuning was really weird, and this song was the only thing I could really get out of it. The melody suited a love song, so I went with it."
Girl Ray play The Great Escape and a (sold out) date at London's The Lexington this month before a hefty summer of festivalling, including stops at Green Man and End Of The Road. As well as the album details and new song, Girl Ray have also announced a headline show for 9 November at London's The Scala.
