Ray Bull Previews New Album ‘Please Stop Laughing’ With ‘All That You Are’ Single

New York City-based duo Ray Bull announced a new album, Please Stop Laughing, due out on May 8 via AWAL. Aaron Graham and Tucker Elkins shared the lead single “All That You Are.”

Rising through viral success and their background in visual art, Graham and Elkins discovered a new medium in music. Ray Bull released their debut album, Baby Mode, in 2021.

Graham and Elkins are now set to return with their second album, Please Stop Laughing. Press materials detailed the collection:

The sonic world of Please Stop Laughing feels familiar yet distinctly fresh and new, borrowing from the sheen of 80s synth-pop, the intimacy of 70s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters, and the polished hooks of contemporary Top 40.

“It almost seemed like Please Stop Laughing was going to be an identity crisis. It felt existential,” Graham stated. “The record could have been a folk record, easily. It could have been a pop record, easily.”

Ray Bull chose to embrace the identity crisis. Lead single “All That You Are” is similarly an examination of a duality with Elkins describing it as told from the perspective of “an unreliable narrator who is being an indecisive, hypocritical idiot.”
