Greys have released a surprise album, ‘Warm Shadow’.
The record, which is available as a ‘pay what you want’ download through Bandcamp with proceeds going to Sistering, is a companion release to the Toronto noise-punks’ second full length, ‘Outer Heaven’.
Discussing ‘Warm Shadow’ with Stereogum, Shehzaad Jiwani said:
“I think it’s a parallel, flip side of the coin kind of thing. ‘Outer Heaven’ was a lot more macro. It’s more topical than I’ve ever really been lyrically in the past. Warm Shadow is a lot more introspective, and it’s just a little bit more off-the-cuff. One of the songs is about when I visited my grandmother’s grave. I never met her, she died before I was born. And the first song on the record, Minus Time, is about that, and about how I’ve always felt this strong connection to her, and the way my family talks about her.
“Another song is me singing about my own parents and my relationship with them. But another song on the record is about a sandwich. Because ‘Outer Heaven’ was so topical and so specific, I just wanted to write something that was more for me. Even Fresh Hell is an abstraction on that subject matter and written from this more dystopian point-of-view, running with the theme a little bit, a lot of word painting. Whereas ‘Outer Heaven’ was a little more direct and to-the-point.”
