notes
Stacy Kray is singer-songwriter from the foggiest of foggy San Francisco neighborhoods. My Last Eye features Stacy’s original alternative rock songs, vocals and guitars, with Jon Evans (Tori Amos) on bass, Todd Roper (Cake, Deathray, Etienne de Rocher) on drums, Yair Evnine (Spencer Day, Rain Of Frogs) on lead guitar and cello, and Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Bonnie Hayes on keys.
“The songs on this record are what I think of as “rock noir”—dramatic and larger than life, yet at the same time simple and stark,” says Stacy. The mood is defiantly insistent, yet buoyant. Driving tunes like Hot & Cold, Tonight and The One, The Only form the backbone of the record, but quieter songs (like Call Out The Cavalry and So Low) offer contrast and release.
My Last Eye was engineered and mixed by former Warner Brothers artist, engineer and mixer Mikael Johnston (Smashmouth, the Sounds, Jane’s Addiction), and mastered by Emily Lazar and Sarah Register (David Bowie, Garbage, Natalie Merchant).
“My Last Eye is killing me! The songs are cool and unusual, the lyrics weigh heavily with time, the arrangements are very creative and the vocals are sooo evocative! An awesome record.”
Grammy-nominated producer & songwriter Bonnie Hayes
The songs on My Last Eye are a continuation of the musical journey Stacy began with Broken Symmetry, her first home recordings.
"Every song is strong, with vocals, musicianship and lyrics that feel perfectly balanced, yet have plenty of character. . . The songs are catchy, yet the lyrics tell stories via colorful metaphors that stop short of clever and often take a few listens to fully grasp. Think Dar Williams without the folk, Ani Difranco without the anger, or Tori Amos only less elfin creature from another planet."
