Prayers For Rain

Bio

Docile in name only, Prayers for Rain delivers a multi-layered, intricate soundscape that is truly unique. Formed as early as the beginning of time, or as late as 2007, this quartet made up of J. Wukotich (vocals, guitar), Calvin Cordy (guitar), Randy Shrader (bass) and Bo Taylor (drums, percussion), have developed something totally their own, yet also, it is to be found, in their rhythm and sound, a tribute to the bands and musicians they know and love. A mission statement, yeah, they have one, they suppose: “To make music we love, for as long as possible,” says front man Wukotich. “Music that’s accessible, but not a cliché.” History has proved this to be a tough endeavor, but Prayers for Rain insists, by the way they interact with each other and their audience, and especially how and what they play, it is very much doable. This band has played throughout Toledo, sometimes in Akron, sometimes in Detroit, sometimes in Columbus; their musical sensibilities, self-proclaimed as “psychedelic-rock” may not, at times, befit other “sensibilities” music-wise or otherwise in this particular region, but they-are-a-tryin’. Part of the Equivocal label, based in Columbus and Toledo , Prayers for Rain doesn’t jump around on stage; rather they play restrained, thoughtful rock music. Scales and vulnerability reminiscent of the late and great Jeff Buckley build up to a frenzied but controlled sound/vibe. Atmospheric undertones of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin anchor their perceived musical destination. But, alas, this is a band that deserves recognition for putting out something entirely their own. THEY ARE NOT RETRO. They are not something of a recreation, although all music is a recreation of itself, and Prayers acknowledges that, but… For instance: The name. Prayers for Rain. Yeah, it’s the name of song by the Cure, but it’s more than that. Rain typically brings renewal, a cleansing, a fresh start, if you will. It can be soft, then alarming. Touch-and-go, then thunderous. The music of Prayers for Rain does/is just that. It’s familiar, but different; sweet and unassuming, then loud and provincial. Quiet the epic; crescendos build up, fall apart and then are rebuilt. They know what they are doing, and where they want to take themselves. An album has been produced and mastered. “Abbreviations” and “Envy” are two masterful examples of musicianship and a keen awareness of letting their listeners inside their clubhouse. Admission to enter is only fondness for what has been done, and anticipation for what can happen. .
