Name: Mantra Ray - Forever Your Pleasure by MantraRay
Duration: 3 min 8 s
Description: Described as The Charlatans meets The Chemical Bothers meets The Cult, this three minute banger was mixed and produced by Fresh on the Net curator Invisible Squirrel (Joe Adhemar). Unlike any of their previous releases in style, MantraRay continue to challenge any pre-conceptions about them.

Reminds us a little of Marillion somehow, liking the big sound. :)

Yeah! I like the modern electro-rock blended with obvious retro rock roots. Nice! ⁓Rebecca

Midnight Departure is a peek into Rebecca’s darker self, as she beacons Andrea to come into the darkness with her, and he does, bleeding on his guitar in soaring angst. Not to worry, a positive note was found in the end.

This song is from the album Aggregate which can be found in its entirety on Bandcamp, as well as other major online retailers. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

Mantra Ray - Forever Your Pleasure

No Wasted Tears

Time can’t make all these memories fade
You’re the reason love is here
Life’s mistakes no one can evade 
Still the truth is Us my dear

Capturing the moments lost 
Forgiving all excuses
Suddenly becomes the way to heal

We were once a complement 
Children so innocent
But scars would leave us wishing not to feel

Chorus:
And I’m sorry love for the pain I caused 
We were robbed by all these wasted years 
And I can’t explain how this love remained
But I know that these aren’t wasted tears

Slow to speak your vibrance makes me weak 
What you didn’t say is clear
Eyes so wide I’m swallowing my pride
Hoping for the future to appear

Chorus:
And I’m sorry love for the pain I caused 
We were robbed by all these wasted years 
And I can’t explain how this love remained
But I know that these aren’t wasted tears

Capturing the moments lost 
Forgiving all excuses
Suddenly becomes the way to heal

No regrets from this day on
Life is starting to become
Everything we wanted to make real

Chorus:
And I’m sorry love for the pain I caused 
We were robbed by all these wasted years 
And I can’t explain how this love remained
But I know that these aren’t wasted tears

And I can’t explain how this love remained
But I know that these aren’t wasted tears

ATTENTION: SoundCloud fam!! Double feature!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I couldn’t post the song I made last month on my SoundCloud page because of a glitch in the system. So I am providing you with the link here in case you want to have a listen because I was only able to post it on my Instagram page. Please head over and hear it and follow me there for more current info and updates on my music. 😊🙏🏽❤️

Lyrics by Robbie and Cavebar, based upon our shared summer memories from many years ago:

Oooh..
Floating aimlessly in the night, somehow feeling our hearts taking flight,
Lying in our canoe on the bay, gently rocking our youth, all in sway,
Eyes fixed on the magical sky; star-filled wonder as meteors fly,
Soft surrender to mysteries vie with our need to know why.

Bobbing, quiet in darkness and calm, endless beauty that acts as a balm,
Sharing fragments of our young lives; 
Whispered stories of how we survived
Wondering aloud how to be; forming a philosophy
Trying hard to find the right word; when the meanings were blurred, and it all seemed absurd.
                 
Happy to be, happy to be, just happy to be, happy to be
Happy to be, just happy to be, on this planet.
Happy to be, happy to be, just happy to be, happy to be
Happy to be, just happy to be, on this planet.

Floating aimlessly in the night, somehow knowing all will be right,
Lying in that canoe on the bay, gently rocking our worries away,
Feeling fortunate and free, most of life was still to be,
Fostering a dream, of a future that’s bright, like the heavens at night.

Happy to be, happy to be, just happy to be, happy to be
Happy to be, just happy to be, on this planet.
Happy to be, happy to be, just happy to be, happy to be
Happy to be, just happy to be…….just to be.

Floating

Screamer

I don't need nobody; I got my body;
I; me; & my self; super sapien Broly; so foxy for the honeys
at times I notice them peeping
my favorite artist music teaching
empowering; they hear blasphemy
read between the line; internet surfing
I don't need no preacher; why care if they get mad at me 
with # hottest woo in the ville amor crafting 

I'm where I want to be; I'm where I want to be
Future projecting
Vae give what my mama won't ; true intimacy

while they in denial; they frown; I smile 

loyalty vs honesty; which one to promote
impish naughty memories; what able top 'em 
I'm done going outa my way to make people comfortable 

how do they compensate
for # lack of knowledge on the subject 

sovereign; my reign undeniable

KRAE- 'DOUBLE SHOT CAN'🆕️(PROD BY HEAR ME BEATS💓) SESSION☆ 2 ⁉️- which IS BETTER?! AHHH🆘️

MantraRay is two long-time friends, Trevor Brill and Billy Raymond-Barker. Trevor lives in Cardiff, South Wales and Billy lives in Brixham, Devon. Back in the 90’s, Trev and Billy worked together in London and were part of a five-piece band gigging around the London pub circuit, Billy on guitar and Trev on the drums. Then life got in the way, children were born and the band went their separate ways. Fast forward thirty years and the boys, well, two of them, are back! The magic of electronic file transfers has made their collaboration a reality despite the geographical separation. 

Their music covers a variety of genres but is mostly filed under Alt Rock. Musical  influences include the Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Super Furry Animals, The Cure, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots…..the list could go on and on….way too many artists that they both love and enjoy, mainy from the “rock” genre but not exclusively, also enjoying Ska, Motown, Pop and Electronica. Their lyrics often reflect the emotional turmoil existing within personal relationships, grief, loss, love, sex as well as events such as 9/11 and the war in Ukraine. 

They released their first album, MantraRay – The Collection, in October 2021 and quickly found themselves many new fans who enjoyed the diverse range of songs, even being nominated for Tim Burgess’ Album of the Year 2021 by Ricky Spence. Their single releases have been similarly well received, Just Like the Sun being voted into the top 30 songs of 2022 in the Indie 100 Cup on In Your Ears Music and Sunflowers being selected as Duggystone Radio’s single of the month for January 2023. 

Their second album, Between The Lies, was released on 1st December 2023 and all profits from sales were donated to the mental health charity, Mind, Body and Sole. Reviews were glowing; "Stunning" "One of the best albums of the year" "Awesome - full of soul" "WOW - something else this album - I'm hooked" "My God - such a fantastic album"...a CD is available for purchase from our Bandcamp page (see our linktree below).

Active on social media, they are big supporters of the new music scene and love to see people they know doing well. They have no interest in “monetising” their music but get their thrills from knowing that people are playing their music on the radio or listening to them on streaming sites.

After a lot of discussions around practicalities, the band have decided that they will not be playing live gigs and will simply concentrate on sharing the creation of new music online. They continue to live the message “Enjoy yourselves, it’s later than you think, but never too late!”
