SISTER RAY DAVIES

Event information

SISTER RAY DAVIES are a brilliantly named new duo formed by Adam Morrow and Jamie Sego. They might be based in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, but their acclaimed debut album "Holy Island" (released in November 2025 via Sonic Cathedral and Well Kept Secret) is a concept record about the ancient religious outpost off the coast of northeast England.

It’s a stunning record that mixes fuzzy guitars, folk horror and fantastic melodies, inspired by the likes of Slowdive, Ride, Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo, The Clientele and Talk Talk. Despite its lyrical inspiration lying thousands of miles away, it comes imbued with the soulfulness of their surroundings – not least because it was recorded in the old Muscle Shoals Sound studio, now Portside Sound, which is run by Jamie.

The duo met when Adam played on sessions at the studio and they realised they had much in common, personally and musically. On Holy Island the story of Lindisfarne is used as a vibes-based framework for abstract ideas and emotions, as they try to make sense of our own peculiar moment in history.

Their new EP 'Holy Island Baby' - a companion project to the album - comes out on Friday 17th April, the same day as this show.

Support comes from Nottingham lo-fi dreampop outfit POSSUM KID and Leicester shoegaze sensations SHALLOWDROWN
