WRY

By Eric Alper:
The international appeal of WRY’s unique flavour is effortlessly telegraphed through their lyrics like a warm breeze across the sands of Brazil’s world-famous beaches.
The new single ˆWhere I Stand” joins nine other catchy tracks set to form Reviver — the third in a trilogy of album releases planned by the band; the award-winning first record release, Noites Infinitas (2020), and the second remix album, Reimagining Noites Infinitas (2021) were released in the past year to critical acclaim.
For its part, Reviver is composed of musical arrangements accumulated throughout WRY’s career that have been resurrected and re-recorded. WRY’s philosophy is to “rescue and recycle art,” and “to show how timeless the power of music can be.”
While the writing process took place in multiple countries, the recording process occurred at the band’s own Deaf Haus studios in Sorocaba, Brazil.
With a culturally diverse and rich musical history, there is no shortage of inspiration for any aspiring band in Brazil. WRY was formed in the late 90s to counter conventional sound, and take cues from genre-defining artists — including The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, and The Clash.
