REEF guitarist Kenwyn House is set to launch his debut mini LP from his new band ‘Goldray’ with Pledge Music due for release on November 25. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/goldray
Goldray formed in 2010 when House teamed up with vocalist Leah Rasmussen (Hydrogen, EMI, Bedrock, Renaissance). The two shared a song-writing vision blending psych and prog experimental arrangements – resulting in a dynamic that took them towards psychedelic rock: House’s hooks complemented by Rasmussen’s powerful but smooth Kate Bush-esque vocals. Joined by Geoff Laurens (Resistors) on bass and featuring performances by both Andy Treacey (Faithless) and Paul Winter-Hart (Kula Shaker) on drums to complete the rhythm section on this debut, Goldray’s sound has one foot more than firmly planted in the psych rock tradition of the late-sixties and early-seventies.
On the decision to team up with Pledge Music for the project, House told us:
“Pledge is such a great way to connect fans and artists directly through the music, and we’re excited about having our fans onboard and involved right from the very beginning with Goldray. By Pledging, fans will receive this mini album in a format of their choice, in the knowledge they actually helped make it possible. It also allows us to give something back as a band; to offer unique and exclusive experiences and opportunities such as the chance to play on our full length album next year amongst others.”
Kenwyn House – who is set to embark on a 20th Anniversary tour of the UK with REEF in November – will end the dates by bringing Goldray to London for an exclusive Mini LP Launch Party on November 26 at The Barfly, London as a celebration of the release and a thank you to fans who get involved via Pledge.
