The Golden Greys are as endearing as they come; they offer playful songs about
ghosts, life, angels, clouds, and longing û all based on the notion that science
and religion serve as metaphors for one another. Each is just a way of
attempting a greater understanding.
The Golden GreysÆ songs may at times border on the whimsical and the absurd, but
if dreams are experiences, and memories cannot be found in the remains of our
loved ones; who is to say what is or isn't real?
Mich and Darren played together for years in High Page Delay, but after E.J.
left the band they were faced with the decision whether or not to continue on.
Under their new moniker, The Golden Greys, they went in to the studio and with
the help of Javier Garavito they completed their first full-length album, "Hold
Up the Vanguard".
Soon after they finished recording, they met Daniel. Daniel's style and
disposition made him a natural fit, and he has helped to bridge the great span
of influences within the band, while adding a fresh take on the songwriting
process.
The Golden Greys began playing live shows around Seattle in early November of
2008. Comparisons have been made to Elvis Costello, Wilco, REM, Bob Mould, Yo La
Tengo, Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, and Let's Active; while the comparisons are
sincere and flattering, the Golden Greys invite you to try their music with an
open mind.
Praise for "Hold Up the Vanguard":
ôDreamy garage pop û jangly guitar, melodic bass lines, and dynamic drums propel
poignant lyrics full of imagery and wonder.ö
ôYou can practically see the late afternoon sunlight streaming from the chiming
guitars and rolling rhythms of æClouds (Parts II & III)Æ."
ôSolid pop-rock dressed up with punk and alternative twists!ö
