AP Track Review
Twilight Rays is an L.A. psyche rock band with shoegaze tendencies. Formerly know as The Asteroid Shop, it is Eric Brendo's current musical project. A baby birthed in fuzz and dreamy blue illusions. The track Moonlight has a sway and a shuffle beat that erupts into something with much harder edges. The lead guitar lines attack but amid all the heaviness there is the formidable dreaminess of Brendo's hushed sad vox crooning melodies that float on a big bass droning sea of dark waters. You will (like me) be humming the guitar lines for the rest of the day.
Twilight Rays is Eric Brendo, Phil Cobb, Brandon Graham and Ben Hilzinger.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
Twilight Rays (formerly The Asteroid Shop) is Eric Brendo's current project and from the off when you hear "Lose Your Way" you're greeted with a wall of fuzz with his dominating vocals coming in shortly after. The track has a slight White Stripes vibe to it with the simplicity of the structure, yet that doesn't mean there's not much going on, far from it! "Lose Your Way" perfectly straddles the line between dreamy art-rock and shoegaze with a dash of psychedelia to give you a spaced-out feel. Twilight Rays have recently played shows with The Black Lips, Spindrift, Moaning, Jesika Von Rabbit, Dream Phases, Blackbird Days, The No. 44, and Spirit Mother. The upcoming single 'Moonlight' features final tweaks by Simon Scott (Slowdive).
