trauma ray Release New Single ‘Spectre’

Texas shoegazers trauma ray have dropped a new single, ‘Spectre’. It’s the second offering from their debut LP Chameleon, out October 25 (via Dais), following last month’s ‘Bishop’. Check out Will McCarthy’s video for the track below.

“I think a lot of us have our own ghosts we refuse to part with,” vocalist Uri Avila said of ‘Spectre’ in a statement. “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.”
