Texas shoegazers Trauma Ray release 2nd single "Spectre" from debut LP Chameleon due late October

Today Trauma Ray release their slowcore, introspective dirge, “Spectre”. Its tracing chords are met with hymnal lyrics from vocalist Uri Avila. Of the single he tells, “I think a lot of us have our own ghosts we refuse to part with. This song is supposed to haunt you. To help you internalize and break down your own inability to let go of the things or the people that aren’t good for you. The perspective of the ‘Spectre’ wonders why you won’t push it away after it’s caused so much pain. It wants you to heal. It wants to be left alone. It’s tired and wishes to move on, but you won’t let it. I wrote these lyrics with the hope that listeners struggling with this kind of emotion can find the strength to move forward.”

“Spectre” is the follow up single to last month’s debut “Bishop” which received high acclaim from The FADER, Stereogum, Consequence (Heavy Song of the Week), Brooklyn Vegan, New Noise and more. It’s the second preview into their first full-length album Chameleon which sees its release on Dais Records on October 25. Watch the video created by Will McCarthy below.
