Raybody (fka Katy Rea) writes classic singer-songwriter shit that gets weird. Her voice is endlessly dynamic—feral and vulnerable, tough in its nurturing. Backed by Andrew Forman (Guitar: Daryl Johns, Nick Hakim) and Ethan Kogan, the trio moves between cinematic extremes. Her bandmates—jazz-trained and steeped in NYC’s experimental and indie rock scenes—interpret her songs with a range that’s both crushing and soaring. It’s the sound of a woman at work: a bit maniacal, but warm.
