Girl Ray

The UK indie trio comprising Poppy Hankin (vocals, guitar), Sophie Moss (bass) and Iris McConnell (drums) formed in Muswell Hill, north London in 2015 and released their jangly debut album Earl Grey two years later. Working with Metronomy producer Ash Workman, they eschewed bittersweet indie-pop harmonies for fluttering, soulful pop on their second album, 2019's Girl. For their next single, they teamed up with Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard of Hot Chip and brought disco sparkle to 2021's expansive "Give Me Your Love," doubling down on this celebratory sound for their third album Prestige. Recorded in Atlanta with producer Ben H. Allen and inspired by hit TV show Pose, the infectious LP aligned with fellow disco-pop acolytes Dua Lipa and Jessie Ware and was released via legendary UK indie label Moshi Moshi in August 2023. Prestige went to number 73 on the UK Albums Chart.
