Gray Young — Kindle Field Buy it at Amazon
Experimental lo-fi indie rock from Raleigh, North Carolina that could use a better bit of studio work to turn down the massively loud bass portions in favor of the rich harmonics. Fortunately this subsides after the first song or so as the audience is submerged into harmonic space rock that is completely inebriated and awesome. The group Gray Young deftly composes textured atmospheric indie rock with space rock fabric but occasionally you just wish they had a better recording of it all. “Kindle Field” could easily be mistaken for a long lost Explosions of the Sky covering a Cure b-side with perhaps a bit more math-y rhythms and emotional rock undercurrents. I like it a lot and so will anyone without wax-coated eardrums.
