Brenda Ray began her musical career in the late '70s, the age of post-punk. During this time, she produced recordings as part of Naffi, operating as Naffi Sandwich and Brenda & the Beach Balls. Several singles were issued throughout the early '80s. In the mid-'90s, Ray assisted reggae producers Sir Freddie Viadukt and Roy Cousins. Ray began recording her own compositions, building on original roots reggae rhythms from these vintage tapes and overdubbing her own vocals, melodica, and other flourishes. The end result was 2006's cult classic Walatta, an amalgam of lovers rock rhythms and displaced dreaminess. In 2012, a compilation of Ray's early post-punk work surfaced in the form of D'Ya Hear Me!: Naffi Years, 1979-1983. ~ Fred Thomas
