The Late Gray Ed Great (2007)

by Edward Gray

supported by

M.G. Turnis When an artist resists the need for speed, a certain vulnerability emerges; one that can't get away. Ed Gray's music is stark, dark, and lo-fi. Were it to simply whiz by you might say punk. But in its restraint it borders on symphonic. On the The Late Gray Ed Great, this Iowa City songwriter sounds relatively alone even while surrounded by strings and various instruments that flirt slightly with dissonance. Come to think of it, so does his voice. It's odd and lonely and haunting.

Balancing
by Edward Gray

Aside from their awesome name, I've got to recommend them due to their spartan and wise-beyond-their-years approach to songcraft. What a pleasant surprise! Def for fans of Flying Nun and Go-Betweens. Edward Gray
