    About This Event

    trauma ray appears at Elsewhere alongside Glixen, Her New Knife and Philadelphia-based Knifeplay, a lineup rooted in shoegaze, slowcore and dream-pop textures. All four prioritize layered, overdriven guitars, unhurried tempos and restrained vocals, favoring density and tonal control over spectacle; their steady Spotify followings (trauma ray ~72K, Glixen ~46K, Her New Knife ~25K) reflect that audience.
