Man Ray Sky

Bio:

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

"A cacophonous crescendo of soaring guitars and frenetic drumming, interspersed with tender and moving waves of melody. All clearly masters of their instruments, they still manage to capture the raw and unpredictable energy that this type of krautrock-postrock-psychedelia demands"

Bearded Magazine July 2009

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

DJ Lamp, Radio Reverb January 2009

"superb indie rock...an excellent set of tunes! Highly recommended!”

Ken Stringfellow (one half of The Posies and keyboardist for R.E.M.) March 2008

"A cacophonous crescendo of soaring guitars and frenetic drumming, interspersed with tender and moving waves of melody. All clearly masters of their instruments, they still manage to capture the raw and unpredictable energy that this type of krautrock-postrock-psychedelia demands"

Part of the mightily impressive, multi-disciplinary Beatabet collective, Man Ray Sky play delicately melodic psych rock with pastoral, Paisley Underground leanings. As all good psychonauts ought, they regularly interrupt the flow of their music with full-on, electronics heavy wig-outs, but the band's strong songwriting talents always make it back to the surface.
