The third single from Seattle-based Forest Ray‘s upcoming album, “Send My Love” enamors with a heartfelt country-tinged rock appeal. A twangy sound radiates from steel guitar and fiddle, while lush synths provide a textured backing. Shades of Neil Young arise in the second half especially, where soaring guitars present an ardent and unforgettable appeal. “Though I try just to find all the things that went wrong,” a harmonious vocal push stirs thereafter, moving into a satiating finale that artfully concludes the hooky, heart-on-sleeve production.
The track also features a variety of collaborating acts from the West Coast and Midwest — including Federale, The Shivas, and TV Star. Forest Ray describes the release as “an homage to folks who have crossed paths with us, and friends who lent a helping hand.” They continue: “Though separated by miles and timezones, we still keep them in our thoughts and the song convey’s that sentiment, which for a touring musician, that gratitude is so rarely able to be expressed in person.”
