“L.A.’s Ultra Violent Rays realize the future is now — when your debut video for your single “The Voyeur” features a woman, not a man, as the peeper, you’re taking the gloves off culturally and stating that creepiness knows no gender and pathos is never politically correct.

Delving into dark electronica with pop sensibility, Ultra Violent Rays singer-bassist Cooper Gillespie, she of the Cleopatra bangs, and drummer-sequencer Greg Gordon, he of the magnificent Afro, draw on Bowie, the Banshees, Portishead and Phantogram, among others, for inspiration.

Dwelling deep in Nick’s Cave, they come off like that reserved yet oddly inviting goth couple in your neighborhood. You know, the ones with the black curtains and black cats milling about. You’re not sure you should ever ring their bell, but oddly enough, they’re the ones whose house you’ll run to when it’s late at night and you’re quickening your step home because someone is following you a little too close and you can’t find your keys.” -Rob Cullivan for The Portland Tribune
