Various Artists - Pale Shades Of Grey: Heavy Psychedelic Ballads And Dirges 1969-1976 Vinyl LP RSD 24

Released 20/04/24

Now-Again Records is completing the trilogy started with Forge Your Own Chains and followed by Tickets for Doomsday with Pale Shades Of Grey: another batch of rare, largely uncompiled--and sometimes barely heard - heavy psych-rock. Pounding drums, scathing fuzz guitar and morose, contemplative lyrics will bring you up on a downer.
Pale Shades Of Grey, as the title hints, is perhaps the most contemplative of the series, heavy on ruminations of dark themes of love, death, pain and triumph, as performed by high school and college bands, Brazilian intellectuals, Nigerian rockers and even an Irish pub band from Michigan. A unique and compelling listen, and surely a worthy companion for these times.
Pale Shades Of Grey debuts on Record Store Day 2024.
