Man Ray Sky

About Me

The band is in the midst of writing material for an album as well as honing their live performances with which they hope to add a more visual element to their shows. The sound of Man Ray Sky live can be an intense affair, with melodic lullabies brushing up against experimental noise pieces; the two opposing but strangely complementary sides of Man Ray Sky.

Sounds Like: Both Fire and Ice

"bits of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth vie with modernist Radiohead-tinged arrangements..wraps you up in a lovely blanket of guitars and whispers in your ear that everything's going to be alright."

SOURCE Magazine July 2008

"absolutely excellent... one of the best unsigned bands of 2008"

DJ Lamp, Radio Reverb January 2009
