Sea Ray

Given the inherent fumblings of the form, an e-mail interview is a definably cumbersome means of learning about a band. The attempt at extracting or absorbing any sort of humanity or senteince from means of Q&A data (compromised carefully scripted responses to carefully scripted, generic questions) is usually one struck dumb by its own futility. It may well be a model for how we as a species are increasingly coming to communicate with one another, but it's certainly no means through which to attempt any understanding of a musical unti as earnest as Sea Ray. I've gained no actual grasp of their movements, their tics, tgheir banter, their smells, spontaneities or mannerisms from the answers they've typed, but even in our era of faceless e--communication (not to mention a time when emotion in music is deemed worthy of its own buzz word), Sea Ray comes across as a refeshingly human proposition, mercifully free of pomp or pretense.
