Cello-wielding
prog rockers Grayceon are set to return soon with their first vinyl-only
release in the shape of the EP entitled Pearl and the End of Days. Working with
the always inventive label The Flenser, the pairing will release the EP in
mid-February and are currently streaming a new song now via Alarm magazine
called ‘Pearl’, inspired by cellist and vocalist Jackie Perez-Gratz’s young
daughter.
“We wrote
this song when I was pregnant with my daughter, Pearl, who is now just over a
year old, but the lyrics came after she was born,” she explains. “It’s about
fear and excitement of the unknown, unconditional love, and sound waves having
all the power."
Power is
something Grayceon know a thing or two about. 2011’s masterful All We Destroy
was a total triumph for the band with its expansive and invigorating melodies
and the 10 minute jaunt of ‘Pearl’ very much continues their always intriguing
trek. Click HERE for the track.
