Ray and Paul Drop Fading — A Bold New EP Blending Surf and Garage Rock, Available Now

Ray and Paul are proud to share their brand-new EP, Fading, now streaming everywhere.
 
“These six songs reflect the past five years of our lives—love, heartbreak, sadness, doubt, confusion, and pain,” the duo says. “They’ve shaped who we are and changed how we see the world and our music. We’re so grateful to finally share this with you and excited for what’s ahead.”
 
Fading is a 6-track collection featuring the fan-favorite and top-streaming single “Pelican,” live staple “Blue,” three new tracks released earlier this year, and the title track “Fading.” The EP will also be available on limited edition vinyl.

Hailing from the SF Bay Area, brothers Ray and Paul started the band at just 17 and 13 years old. After building a loyal local following, they found their stride playing house shows in Isla Vista while attending school in Santa Barbara. Their signature surf-rock-meets-garage-rock sound shines on Fading, shaped by producer Jarvis Taveniere (Mild High Club, Surf Curse, Allah-Las) and three tracks produced by John Goodmanson (Weezer, Pavement, Nada Surf, Hockey Dad).
 
2025 has been a breakthrough year for Ray and Paul. They’ve performed at SXSW, Treefort Festival, and toured in support of The Moss and Sun Room. This fall, they’ll hit the road for a California headline tour in September, followed by a full U.S. tour in October supporting Australian band Dice. See all tour dates below.
