Hard rockers Ra recently released Critical Mass, their first studio album since 2008, and fourth overall. It was funded by a Kickstarter campaign that helped raise over $32,000. The new record marks the return of the band’s "Duality" lineup: guitarist-vocalist Sahaj Ticotin, bassist PJ Farley, guitarist Ben Carroll, and drummer Skoota Warner, as well as guitarist Travis Montgomery on "Tragic Empire." “I believe this record to be the most complete album we’ve ever made, but also the heaviest,” Ticotin says. “There is a conscious effort here to be more respectful of hard rock/metal roots and less on being too touchy feely. I really wanted this record to feel intense, even on the more light-hearted songs. For once I don’t feel as if I compromised on any aspect of the writing for this record.” Tracks: 1. Brutiful 5:19 2.
