Sensual & sublime second album from Sydney artists Grey Area, that sits within in the boundaries of post rock ambient electronica ..... absolutely brilliant.
Grey Area's second album release on Psy-Harmonics, "Absolute", is a journey that leads travellers through familiar and comfortable terrain to unexpected sonic destinations. Smooth electro, expansive and warm soundscapes dominate the release. Grey Area Formed in Sydney in 1991 when William Lemnell and Alex Salter met studying film. Originally a soundtrack project, the duo quickly began exploring other musical avenues. Five years were spent in the studio refining recording techniques , working with other musicians and experimenting with a plethora of sounds, resulting in their self titled debut album (Psy-034), which received much critical acclaim from the music press. Meanwhile Grey Area were stripping back their live sets playing minimal electronic dance floor grooves in clubs and parties across Australia's east coast. Alex's obsession with beats , William's fascination with atmosphere and noise , along with guest musicians, such as live drums.....(most beats on "Absolute Grey Area" are original rather than sampled from existing tracks or library breaks)..... they achieve a wide array of sounds fusing an endless tapestry of sound and styles which is unique and an "Absolute Grey Area".
