A relentless rhythm section sounds the call to arms even as a starry-eyed crooner spins a tale of subterfuge, salvation, and romance. Sterling guitars emerge from shell-shocked feedback. The growl of an overdriven Rhodes dissolves into sparkling delay-saturated arpeggios. Honeyed tones recall Morrissey, shifting the mood from riots to requiems. From their DIY aesthetic, energetic lives shows, and unique instrumentation, Greycoats have garnered comparisons to Arcade Fire, Radiohead, and Sigur Ros.
Greycoats present their full-length debut, "Setting Fire to the Great Unknown". The Minneapolis quartet channels Milton's epic soul while staying grounded in a subtle study of human nature worthy of Steinbeck. It is an album that calls all men brothers, a sonic manifesto declaring the end of polarization and the beginning of empathy. Having already shared the stage with We Are Scientists, Parachutes, Foals, Seawolf, and Colourmusic, Greycoats hit the road again in May.
