The brilliantly named SISTER RAY DAVIES will be appearing at Golden Lion Todmorden on Sunday 19 April as part of a UK tour which sees them supporting Chapterhouse &amp; Acid Mothers Temple at their recently announced (and sold out) shows. 

Although based in Alabama, SISTER RAY DAVIES excellent debut album 'Holy Island' (released on Sonic Cathedral) is a concept album about the ancient religious outpost off the coast of North East England and was inspired by the likes of Slowdive, Ride, Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo and Talk Talk.  

Praise for Holy Island:

“A deft, clever, enchanting debut”  – Uncut 

“Some of Holy Island is danceable, some is dreamy, and some is pure atmosphere” – AllMusic

“Adroitly blurs a lot of intriguing boundaries” – Freq

“The krauty ‘Iona’ comes on like a long-lost Spacemen 3 outtake, I especially like the shimmery fuzz of ‘Aidan’ and the delay pedal disco of ‘Rowans’. It sounds great even if you know nothing about holy islands” – Moonbuilding

“The top-notch Holy Island nods to mid-period Flying Saucer Attack, Souvlaki-era Slowdive, maximum shimmer Ride and motorik” – MOJO

“If shoegaze is the new sound in Alabama, I’m here for it. There’s a heaviness, but it’s balanced out by a little sonic touch that seems to be a sparkling bit of sunshine through the clouds” – Austin Town Hall

“It features plenty of the guitar effects you’d expect, but these are grafted onto tracks that are edifices of squally synths, motorik and baggy beats” – Electronic Sound

“Holy Island is a rare debut. Thoughtful, melodic and full of intent without ever becoming heavy handed” – Static Sounds Club

“Despite its lyrical roots lying thousands of miles away, the album pulses with the warmth and soul of their home surroundings. Fuzzy guitars meet folk-horror moods and melodic songwriting on a record that balances depth with playfulness” – Norman Records

“It's quite magical, this!” – Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6 Music

ADRA
Andy Abbott is an artist, musician and writer who lives in West Yorkshire, UK.
