Comment: this batch of 3 tracks which clocks in at a half hour in total is a haunting blend of ominous guitar timbres, slowly changing aural ebbs and tides and atmospheric plateaus which are conjured up with effect-laden guitars and cymbal-induced washes. As equal as the outer impact of the powerful facade the inner aspect has been managed to the same degree due to droning and minimally changing notes and swapping timbres. You can be a witness how a microcosmos and a macrocosmos collapse with one another for to get melt down to a seamless whole. At Grey one can hear a droning organ in the middle of guitars which chimes epic and psychedelic at the same time being initially challenging and ultimately rewarding. There is no chip on the shoulder to be found. The impressive outing is a part of the discography of Silber Records which is a solid port of releasing rock music of experimental/droning/ambient kind.
