Fans of Brit Pop &/or good music will absolutely love this record. Currently New York City's best kept secret where great music is concerned, but shouldn't be for too long.

Sea Ray haven't yet come to the shores of the UK but i've no doubt they will very very soon. The tracks i've heard are melodic and make you wanna listen again and again. Ok, i'm slightly biased as i kinda know one of the band, but trust me, i wouldn't be bothered to write a review on here if i didn't think it was worth it - when you really like something (check out Revelry!) then it's natural to want to make people listen to this great band. If you like Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol then this is totally your bag.

I've read several reviews of the band and the reviewers draw comparisons to the Church and the Cure and even Radiohead but I think a more accurate comparison would be James. I immediately think of the James song "Out To Get You" every time I listen to Sea Ray -- not that that's a bad thing!

An excellent album overall I look forward to hearing more from Sea Ray.

Sea Ray is one of those rare opening bands you see and immediately have to get their album because their sound and performance is just so amazing.

Stars at Noon, their debut album, is a great mix of indie rock, a little bit of electronica, classical and alternative rock, that combines to create that type of sound that you can rock to, chill to or just contemplate life. The cello adds a soothing, classical sound to Sea Ray's rock that punches their songs up to another level.

"Revelry" is probably the highlight track that distinguishes this band as a rising star. The lyrics are poignant and their sound is soothing yet lively. The rest of the album follows this example and hits the mark on every one. Check out "Forge Utopia", "Quiver" and "Lalaland".

Great alt-rock chill out music. Don't miss it.

This band is great. I saw them perform live in Philadelphia opening for The Church and just had to buy their CD after the show. They had a great sound, and the cello really added a unique, passionate, and poignant element to their music. If you like brit rock/pop type music that evokes deep emotions, you will enjoy this group.

from RollingStone.com- "Brooklyn's Sea Ray soar, attack and inspire like birds of prey. The sextet's smart new sophomore album Stars at Noon is a gorgeous, bursting collection of rock songs that are delicate and careful but still forceful and manic ... enough to make even a daytime sky glitter."

I saw this band live, and had to buy the CD. I'm glad I did. Not only are they an impressive live act, their melodious music is brilliant to listen to. Look for these guys to make it into more mainstream indie in the not-too-distant future
