New York is already being bestowed by a bounty of good music these next months, but the glory isn't reserved for the East Coast. Los Angeles, too, is opening its sprawling arms to a number of beloved World's Fair artists. The Grey Race Just recently off a tour with Teddy Thompson, the Grey Race are back [...]
Central Park's SummerStage may have finished last week, the McCarren Park Pool may be over, and while that may herald the end of the free show season, it does not indicate a dearth of good live music. In fact, it means anything but. Here are just a couple for the next month or so. Naomi Shelton. [...]
The Grey Race is a fitting name for this three piece claiming Brooklyn as their point of origin. Grey may not be the best description of their sound but if there is a better color that embodies dark, moody music with lifting melodies then you may want to inform Crayola. All analyzation of the ROYGBIV spectrum aside, this group quickly came onto the music scene in late 2007 with an EP and debut LP ( Give It Love ) released months apart from one another. All three group members come from different regions of the world, [...]
(as featured on This Week's Finds , Jan. 6-12) "On the Chin" - Grey Race I'll start the new year with a couple of songs that are not really new at all--a reminder that a song is always new if you haven't heard it yet. "On the Chin" begins with a straightforward eighth-note riff linked by an amplified acoustic guitar-neck sound, which emerges after the riff is heard the second time. If it's gratuitous, movement-wise (the guitarist doesn't really need to run his fingers up and down the [...]

"If I could, I would, turn the bad into good." "Cracks," the first great song on The Grey Race's first full-length, begins with this idealistic sentiment, but quickly recognizes a need for the "gritty edge to keep me interesting", a need for cracks, a need for shades of gray. What follows are nine more deceiving light rock songs sung in New Zealander Jon Darling's forlorn falsetto. Cynical lyrics lurk under soft and smooth pop music with perfectionist production values. Every note is precise, every snap of the cymbal or strum of the bass well-placed to drive [...]

IODA Promonet Week 36 --- The Grey Race - EP [2007 - Unfiltered Records / World's Fair] Description The Grey Race has not been run on a straight line; it twists and turns through unexpected tributaries.

For those of us living outside of the NY borough known as Brooklyn, it can seem like it is made up entirely of bands. It feels like every other day that I get a artists bio they just happen to be from Brooklyn, this can lead to some not so memorable artists that get lumped together. That aside, The Grey Race are also from Brooklyn, but so far, I am finding these guys very memorable and worth your attention. The good folks at Unfiltered Records (The Postmarks) signed these guys just a few [...]
Artists (whether it be musicians, painters, or writers) are one of the only occupational groups who are expected to waiver on the eccentric side of things. After all, they are expressing their deepest emotions for a living. With your mind taking a beating, it could get to you once in a while. Failure could possibly cause you to intentionally chop off an ear like Van Gogh or even blast yourself away like Hemingway. But honestly, who actually believes that Van Gogh and Hemingway were artistic failures? There are only two people who would think so and that would be themselves. [...]
