A recent visitor to Australian shores supporting Grinderman; Essex-born, Berlin-based Gemma Ray took the fork in the road marked orchestral pop noir in producing her third album, part of which was recorded in Sydney in 2010.
Ray’s bright and sultry voice anchors an effortlessly diverse offering, cloaked in gothic overtones. With current and former Bad Seeds Thomas Wydler and Mick Harvey adding lush orchestral treatments, songs such as Make It Happen echo Lee Hazlewood’s brooding desert psychedelia, while Runaway moves effortlessly from an Ennio Morricone soundtrack to sweet ’60s girl group pop.
