In Your Bright Ray is the fourth and final solo album, released in 1997, by Grant McLennan.[1] [2] [3]
The album features Brett Myers of Died Pretty and Wayne Connolly of Knievel on guitars, Maurice Argiro of Underground Lovers on bass, and Tim Powles of The Church on drums.
AllMusic wrote: "With a top-notch backing group teasing all the little subtleties that a fan of crafted, gilded, lovely pop could want and McLennan's increasingly wizened, becalmed vocals, the mix of sounds and McLennan's marvelously well-developed material radiates, sparkles, and snaps, crackles, and pops with all his strengths and then some." Trouser Press called the album "pleasant and expertly executed," writing that it "offers little in the way of standouts."[4] CMJ New Music Monthly called the album "McLennan's least immediate offering," writing that "whatever additional concentration is required to appreciate its charms is amply rewarded with a deepened appreciation of his artistry."[5]
