“This song is supposed to haunt you”: Listen to trauma ray’s new single Spectre

Texas’ trauma ray have just shared a brand-new single and video, Spectre.

The song arrives ahead of some special UK shows next month: they’ll be at Manchester’s Outbreak Autumn, as well as supporting Citizen in Birmingham and headlining London’s Lexington. At the same time, they’ll also be dropping debut album Chameleon! Busy, busy, busy.

Speaking about this newest track, singer Uri Avila explains, “I think a lot of us have our own ghosts we refuse to part with. This song is supposed to haunt you. To help you internalise and break down your own inability to let go of the things or the people that aren’t good for you.

“The perspective of the Spectre wonders why you won’t push it away after it’s caused so much pain. It wants you to heal. It wants to be left alone. It’s tired and wishes to move on, but you won’t let it. I wrote these lyrics with the hope that listeners struggling with this kind of emotion can find the strength to move forward.”

Spectre is taken from trauma ray’s debut album Chameleon, which is due out on October 25.
