Listen to The Ones We Keep, on August 1o, on Spotify!

The Ones We Keep is the fourth and final single by Rεy in support of the fourth studio album: Everlasting: Act I, releasing on August 10, 2024, on the same day as the album.

Musically, this single is an high-energy UK GARAGE hit that serves as the the final main statement for the record. Recorded in February of 2024, it was the fourth song to be recorded for the album, and later inspired "So Long,  Crowsnest" which would later be the conclusion.

Released 10 August 2024

Listen to Everlasting: Act I, on August 10, on Spotify!

Everlasting: Act I is the fourth studio album by Rεy, marking the largest time-gap between albums (from Fate & Faith in September 2023), amounting to 11 months. 

Sonically, this album combines Industrialpop, Synthwave, and Shoegaze music, with a darker undertone of Sultry R&B that hasn't been heard of before in Rεy's discography. Industrialpop and synthwave are recurring genres for Rεy, being heard routinely in Crowsnest Highway, 14, and Fate & Faith, whereas Shoegaze music was mixed with light electronica on the 13 EP. In all, this short and sweet album serves as a staple in Rεy's discography, marking a new era of experimental and genre-bending tracks for the music to come.

Released 10 August 2024

Listen to Everlasting, on July 1o, on Spotify!

Everlasting is the third single by Rεy in support of the fourth studio album: Everlasting: Act I, releasing on August 10, 2024. 

Musically, this single is an high-energy Chicago House hit that serves as the thesis statement for the two new albums to come. Recorded in December of 2023, it was the first song to be recorded for the album, and later inspired "Broken Promises" which would later be the lead single.

Listen to Everyone to Everything, on July 10, on BandCamp!

Everyone to Everything is the sophomore single by Rεy in support of the fourth studio album: Everlasting: Act I, releasing on August 10, 2024. 

Released as a BandCamp Exclusive, this single is an sultry R&B hit that sets a new stage for Rεy's discography, as it is a sound unheard of so far. As the sister song of "What Remains The Same" these two work to lay a fresh foundation for the album's grittier undertones.

Released 10 July 2024

Listen to Broken Promises, on June 1, on Spotify!

Broken Promises is the lead single by Rεy since in support of the fourth studio album: Everlasting; Act I, releasing on August 10, 2024.

Released 1 June 2024

Listen to Who You Want, on May 25, on Spotify!

Who You Want is the first single by Rεy since Autumn 23, after a whole six months without new music, the longest break of theirs since Euphoria. This single was released as a standalone single, originally intended for but later scrapped from the fourth studio album: Everlasting Act I

Musically, this single offers a defiant stance against heartbreak, serving as a subtle anthem of empowerment and self-worth. In the terms of genre, Who You Want is a crossover between Synthpop and Alternative R&B.

Furthermore, Who You Want was the first single released following the creation of Make It Happen Records.

Released 25 May 2024

Listen to Autumn 23 (The Remixes), on November 5, on Spotify!

Autumn 23 is the debut remix album by Rεy, which is the fourth overall album by Rεy that has been serviced under the Reminiscence Recordings umbrella (REMUSICO; Turning Point, Regina, Sandstone).

Musically, this album does not contain any new material, except for the "I Don't Care 7" Version) which is the first half of the song called Pacifier on the 14 album.

For these reasons, this project is not considered a studio album, because most of the songs on this project have only been lowered in pitch, and reverberated to match the aesthetic of Autumn.

This version of the album releases digitally and physically, and includes 3 bonus tracks (digitally) and 2 bonus tracks (physically). In addition to all of the deluxe edition tracks, the Reloaded edition has the following bonus tracks:

Here: Originally titled "I'm Here," this track is an off cut of the standard edition of the album. It features roomy synths as well as a traditional EDM beat that mixes Dembow-styles with modern Electronica.

I Don't Know: This one is a new track. Actually, it was finished on the day of the album release. This song is a mix of "Control" and EDM, but the latter takes the cake.

Declaration of Independence: This one is also a newer track. It was meant to be an interlude for the deluxe version, but it was scrapped due to it being unrelated to the rest of the album.

Released 11 March 2023

Listen to Crowsnest Highway (Deluxe), on March 4th, on Spotify! The deluxe album will release exclusively digitally, unlike its older sister, which is the Reloaded Edition. In this edition, Crowsnest Highway meets Off Cuts, which houses some newer tracks like "Higher Than Heaven" and "Promised Me" while also housing some older tracks from the "Needless To Say EP" like "Forever and Always" and "Plastic." Although it resembles a mixtape, the deluxe edition is very much an album. 

*The album cover is a polaroid of the Crowsnest Highway, and not Yellowhead as suspected before.

Released 4 March 2023

Listen to Redemption, on Spotify now!

Enter Redemption, the hardiest track from the discarded mixtape 21. 21 was a collage of all of the compilations and demos we made during the lockdown era, but a few songs stood out. Unlike songs like "The Slowest Rhythm" and "War (Interlude)," Redemption, alongside Hopes & Dreams, Plastic, and Regardless (Moving On), were produced professionally before lockdown. After the deluxe edition of 21 was released four months later, the general likeability was brought down further with songs like Cracking Ice, Nostalgia, and Summers end (which account for 20 minutes of the mixtape on their own!).

"This fifth single will be released exclusively digitally and will close the single era of the album, as it is the final single of the album."

Released 20 February 2023

Listen to Ghosts, the debut album's fourth EP single, on Spotify now!

"This song is as odd as it gets (on the album at least!) – This song is where 80s funk synth meets 00s rock drums, to collaborate on a song about modern tragedy. Officially released to the world in early 2022 (with the mixtape 22), this song came as an EP format with a stipped / live version and four remixes. The bonuses include XXP3TUN1AXX on two remixes recorded in the D.B.R (District Blue Recording-studio) and two others. Additionally, Ghosts has been recalibrated in this recording to match the sonic requirements of the album. The original version of this song can be found on the internet, however the song has been redone since then and the original sounds very different."

~The live / stripped version was recorded at the Umbra Studios, on December 26, 2022.~

~Remixes 2 and 4 were done in the United States of America, and Remixes 1 and 3 were done in Canada and the United Kingdom.~

Released 5 February 2023

Listen to Trauma, the debut album's third single, on Spotify now!

"Completely converse from the previous two singles, Trauma is about the flashbacks one can face after a memorable event or vacation. Commonly mistaken for PTSD, this song describes "Bittersweet Trauma," also known as Beautiful Trauma. Furthermore, Trauma was recorded in 2019 and released alongside Neurosis and Euphoria in the 2020 mixtape "20" – however, it didn't make the cut for the 2019 mixtape Past and Present. Trauma has now been released as a double single, with itself and a live / stripped version."

~The live / stripped version was recorded at the Umbra Studios, on December 21, 2022.~

Released 21 January 2023

Listen to Off Cuts, the EP on Spotify now!

The opening track for this EP is Enjoy The Journey, which was originally track 16 of the album. After Enjoy The Journey, lies Higher Than Heaven (a.k.a High As Hell, Higher Than Heaven). This almost EDM electropop song was recorded on the day of the album release, when everything was done and dusted. The reason this EP is called "Off Cuts" is because its songs were either Off (not meant for the standard version of the album) or Cut (cut from the album). The EP ends with Forever and Always, which is from Needless To Say, another EP from 2020. All together, these songs make a mixtape-style EP, where the songs are loosely connected, but not related like an album.

Released 13 January 2023

Listen to Crowsnest Highway, the debut album's second single, on Spotify now!

"Crowsnest Highway, as the title suggests, is based off of the mighty Crowsnest Highway. Recorded in 2019 and 2020, the song electronically describes solace in the silence and borrows some inspiration from the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers. These rivers hold a sentiment to us that no-one can imagine; so of course we had to title a song, and later an album after it!"

Note: Although a series of remixes and a live version had been promised before, they have all been cancelled to make way for other endeavors, including the Ghosts - EP which has four remixes by itself. 

Released 6 January 2023

Listen to Crowsnest Highway, the debut album, on Spotify now!

"After months and months of back and forth with the album's production, we ultimately decided to cut the album at 15 tracks (with a possibility of expansion in the near future). Production for this album began in late 2021, when we collected all of the previous mixtapes and extended plays, and chose the most sonically cohesive songs from them. After 2 years of production and remastering, the album was ready - and here we are. This 15 track debut album (internationally anyway) encompasses our diary for the last 3 years, dealing with quarantine and lockdowns. We hope you enjoy this kaleidescope view of trauma, desperation, and regrowth!"

Listen to Euphoria, the debut album's lead single, on Spotify now!

"We're sure we all remember life before the pandemic. Almost bittersweet, that visionary seems almost a world away. In 2019, following the digital release of the mixtape Past and Present, Rey embarked on a 8 month scrapping process to filter through music for the next project. Unfortunately, it was by this time that the world halted to a standstill. With only a home studio, Rey scrapped and re-recorded all of the P&P tracks, and the first song to emerge was Euphoria. Remastered and remixed, Euphoria was released as a digital single on the REMUSICO site, and then was re-released as a international lead single on November 20, 2022."

Released 20 November 2022
