Psych folk rock band Forest Ray began as a recording project in 2015, combining guitar-driven psych rock with elements of garage rock, folk rock, and organ-laden pop. They’ve been described as “Brit-pop gone country” or as “…The Band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed” (Tony Kay, Washington’s Artist Home blog).
The group’s sound has evolved from ’60s psychedelic garage rock into spaced-out, down-to-earth rock ’n’ roll that feels “like a perfect companion for a long, dusty road trip” (KEXP, Chris Sanley).
Here’s what KEXP had to say:
“The new album from the Seattle outfit is a solid blend of Americana, psych and indie-rock. Peter Sumic’s classic storytelling style is driven by a rich sonic tapestry of guitar, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica and percussion, making Windf**er* feel like a perfect companion for a long, dusty road trip.”
