LA’s Grey House lay out a series of impressively atmospheric, emotive and dreamy soundscapes with this latest EP. A follow-up to August’s full-length album, the project Pale Dream kicks into gear with a purely instrumental wash of mesmerising alternative rock.

Shoegaze
A beautifully promising debut single, part of a week of impressive releases – they do say great music comes from times of great difficulty.

This album is something like progressive shoe-gaze, less soaked in reverb, with a little more clarity, and really just a creatively free and fairly unique angle to it. Worth a listen if considerate and intentional songwriting draws you in – as well as delicately hard-hitting rock backdrops.
