Gemma Ray / Spurs
Gemma Ray is a British singer/songwriter who fuses many disparate genres, and has been given diverse tags such as pop-noir, sideways blues, and gothic folk. She's collaborated with Sparks, Alan Vega and more.
Gemma Rays latest opus The Exodus Suite is a dramatic 52-minute odyssey through her unique style of epic torch song psychedelia. Recorded live in seven days at the infamous Candy Bomber Studios (situated in the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin) by Ingo Krauss, the albums title reflects the personal-political themes of the songs within.
According to NPR, SPURS' Adam Arcuragi is "a Philly soul with the old school power of Van Morrison". A folk/soul troubadour who grew up listening to his grandparents collection of old country and gospel records,the songwriter cut his teeth in the Philadelphia music scene,releasing three full length albums and an EP, spawning a folk-soul-gospel sound hybrid that some like to call 'Death Gospel'
In late 2012, Arcuragi moved back to Georgia when family circumstances necessitated him to be present. Feeling as though he were trapped in a Faulkner novel, many hours were spent longing for the promise of freedom that comes from the wide-open desert landscapes of the American west. It was from this desire that the first SPURS songs began to take shape.
In late 2013, the turmoil settled in Georgia, andArcuragi was able to move to Los Angeles. Here he found inspiration from the psychedelic Southwest deserts, and the sounds of Laurel Canyon in the 60's. He fused those elements into his already other-worldly liturgy, and thus was born SPURS, into the church of Death Gospel.
