Gray Young

Firmament out this fall

About Me

"The group Gray Young deftly composes textured atmospheric indie rock with space rock fabric...“Kindle Field” could easily be mistaken for a long lost Explosions in 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." --Smother Magazine
"Kindle Field contains six songs that run the gamut of atmospheric indie rock. From ambient instrumentals to melody-fueled anthems, Gray Young cover all the bases here...There is subtle grandeur to these songs and whatever you want to call them, Gray Young seem perfectly fine with it. The band has successfully shed all labels and seem completely comfortable within their own skin." --Sound as Language
"Kindle Field" is plentiful with lush guitar but it's no lullaby...Overall, the vocals are sparse, but the warm fuzz of the guitar will fill that void for you and put you in the mood to rock out. I say chill out with Gray Young and check them out when you get the chance. Do it. You won't regret it. --Quick, like a bunny
"Gray Young either turns atmosphere into anthem or mood into melody, soaring on crescendos and slinking on math-light comedowns"
"Kindle Field, the debut record from Raleigh trio Gray Young, is a promise to which the Triangle scene should pay attention" --the Independent Weekly
"Gray Young makes their moody songs come alive, keeping things exciting without relying on jittery A.D.D. rock to do so, and showing themselves to be completely bursting with talent and potential." --For the sound.com
