Hotly tipped London based newcomer Ray Laurél follows up his well received debut Hunter Schafer with razor sharp new offering, Manic Pixie Dream Boy. A vibrant guitar led cut showcasing Ray’s versatile vocals over driving chords, the track serves as a statement of intent from an artist set for big things this year. Speaking on the track, he states:
‘I was talking to this guy on Hinge for ages; he listened to stuff like Merzbow, had a whacky fashion sense, and was pretty intense. It got really deep and out of the blue he just unmatched me. I was kinda taken aback, I scrolled through Instagram and saw this article and was like, yep. He was a Manic Pixie Dream Boy. Someone free-spirited and refreshing, but yet remains unavailable. This song also comes as a reflection as to how I’ve definitely played the role of an MPDB myself. It’s like a realization that sometimes my intense, somewhat overly-romantic nature can be toxic as hell.’
Since independently releasing Hunter Schafer last month, Ray Laurél has quickly grabbed attention from a wide array of blogs and Spotify playlists. Set to make his live debut in support of Jeshi, the next few months look to be exciting ones. Stay tuned for more soon.
