On their second single ‘Kevin’, Manchester quartet Grey Mare make a dark and emotional statement. Recorded by Merseyside production duo Sugar House, the track pulls no punches, powered along by a brutal rhythm section a siren song of reverb drenched guitars swirl and wail, a poetic and dramatic vocal sitting at the eye of the storm. Those with a penchant for 90s shoegaze would be wise to keep Grey Mare on their radar as the promising act gathers momentum. In the words of the band ‘Kevin’ “tells the story of a dying relationship and the desperate attempts to reconciliate that come along with such an occasion.” Our beloved Northern readers can catch Grey Mare at The Square in Manchester with This Feeling on Feb 3rd. -Adam Brown
