Nov 22, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Girl Ray

North London trio Girl Ray have released a new album, Girl, today via Moshi Moshi. Now that the album is out, you can stream the whole thing below. Also on Wednesday we posted our My Firsts interview with the band and you can read that here. Also below are their upcoming tour dates.

Previously they shared the album’s first single, “Show Me More,” via a video for the track. “Show Me More” was one of our Songs of the Week. Then they shared its title track, “Girl,” via a video for the song. “Girl” was also one of our Songs of the Week.

Girl Ray features Poppy Hankin (guitar/vocals), Iris McConnell (drums), and Sophie Moss (bass). Girl is their second album, the follow-up to their cleverly titled 2017-released debut album, Earl Grey (it was our Album of the Week and #3 on our Top 15 Debut Albums of 2017 list).

Girl was recorded at Electric Beach Studios in Margate with Ash Workman (Christine and the Queens, Metronomy). Whereas their debut album was a twee-pop gem, Girl is inspired by more modern and electronic pop sounds, in particular Rihanna and Ariana Grande.
