If you've always wanted to try bellydancing but thought the music just wasn't spooky enough, take a look at http://tinyurl.com/gtc77" neal ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:26:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Craig Gidney Subject: Autumns Grey Solace, Shades of Grey This is AGSs most experimental album yet, as they twist their patented dream-pop sound into darker and harder territory. Tracks like Cold Sea, and Last Tear flirt with metal, while pieces like In The Darkest Night and the title track are almost completely sweet indie-popthink Velocity Girl. There are still ambient guitar partsthe glimmering Edge of the World could be a Victorialand outtake and Fodderwing wispily flutters by. Guitarist Scott Ferrell does a couple of old -fashioned virtuoso licks along side the jangly, shimmery textures, and Erin Welton opens her voice up. The rougher singing on Last Tear and Darkest Night have depth and coloration that contrasts nicely with the sugary angel-fairy tones she uses, and most of her lyrics are about sour relationships. AGS still sound like the Cocteau Twins/Lush and Slowdive, but they are gradually adding darker elements. Maybe theyre closet Metallic fans. With Shade of Grey, they stand apart from the shoegaze crowd.
