Shilpa Ray, Neighbor Lady
Wednesday, May 27 @ Georgia Theatre Rooftop
Brooklyn-based goth-rock singer-songwriter Shilpa Ray plays the harmonium, which is probably not an instrument that immediately comes to mind when you read the phrase “Brooklyn-based goth-rock singer-songwriter.” At any rate, Ray wears the oddity well, utilizing the device’s demented drone to haunting effect on propulsive tunes like “Pop Song for Euthanasia,” from Last Year’s Savage, out this month on excellent underground imprint Northern Spy. Ray’s voice, which alternates between intoxicated croon and ferocious yowl, acts as a striking counterpoint to her band’s loose, organic vibe.
