Ray Dar Vees are a South London 3 piece group, who are sure to impress with their classic indie infused sound, poignant lyrics and wonderful vocals.
The group’s debut single 'Heart Attack', which was released on the 24th May, is a wonderful track, boasting a fantastic, deep bass line from Fred Marray, who also plays keyboards and belts out the vocals; lovely hooks and gentle riffs from Matt Gwyer , the groups guitarist who also plays keys and a wonderful quick tempo drum beat from Gary Southwell.
The track sounds like a fantastic mash up of Echo And The Bunneymen and James with enough unique twists to genuinely call this their own. It is not really out and out pop, nor is it really out and out indie; instead it is a unique sound, built from a range of very good influences.
It is lively and warm with brilliant musical melody, with contradicting and ultimately brilliant dark lyrics and vocals. There are plenty of references to the late 80’s and early 90’s, with heaps of fresh, modern licks blended in seamlessly as the track moves from era to era flawlessly.
The up and down structure of the track, which rises and falls in volume, depth and tempo, musically and vocally are incredibly clever and brilliant in equal measure.
Expect good things from this group.
