Album Notes

Manraygun: Cabin fever. Campfire poetry. Dog-eared. Old guitars. Doghouse heartstrings. Shaky things. Folkways dust. Reverb. More tremolo. manraygun expertly weaves moody lyrics with memorable melodies. The band doesn’t so much walk the tightrope between roots rock and alt.country but swing from it, never letting the listener know where they’ll land from one tune to another. – Peter North, Edmonton Journal These are songs grounded in vintage rock, early Springsteen to the Clash, idealistic working class rock and its cathartic stories of loss, losers and endurance. …unapologetically expansive and ambitious. – VUE Weekly …a blend of dark folk ballads and twisting narratives about magpies and circus freaks… Otis Redding, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, and Hank Williams… you can hear each of these influences at work in manraygun’s songs, and not always in the ways you’d expect. – SEE Magazine
