Rayographs self-titled debut album was recorded by legendary underground producer John Hannon at a studio in a farm in Essex. The record is dense in its variety, shifting from urgent riffs in "Marazion" to the nightmarish, hollowed out 60s pop of "Space of the Halls", to the somnambulistic looped narrative of "Falconberg Court". "Providence, Rhode Island" is a song for Francesca Woodman, "Cartwheels" about Nan Donohoe, an Irish traveller In between the songs display the poetry of individual experience. This lyric from "My Critical Mind", could be said to sum up the album, 'there is no order of things, just a sequence of illuminated events embedded in memory'; as if the stories depicted are both conscious and unconscious revelations undulating both within and below the songs, timeless in their universality but at the same time deeply personal in their biographical fortitude.
'Invoking the restless blues spirit of proto-riot grrrl heroines in the mould of Patti Smith as well as the dreamy tremblings of The Breeders, (Rayographs) provide demure elegance in a sea of grubby punks, with pummelling rhythms strewn with forlorn, waif-like voices and surging progressive chords'.
