GREYS (Toronto, Carpark)
When they first emerged in 2011, Greys came off like a less brawny, more bratty complement to fellow Toronto-scene stalwarts Metz. Singer-guitarist Shehzaad Jiwani didnt necessarily shy away from melodic choruses and introspective lyricism, but he had to blow out his vocal cords to be heard amid the bands Jehu-schooled, post-hardcore pummel. And the feelings of inadequacy he was trying to express were filtered through cheeky song titles (see: Use Your Delusion) and tongue-in-cheek complaints. But with the tranquil, starlit jangle of the opening Cruelty, Outer Heaven marks a clean, abrupt break from that pastnot just by opening up greater spatial possibilities in the bands sound world, but by foregrounding a nakedly emotional tenor that permeates even the more typically ferocious tracks that follow.
