GREY MOUSE is an euphemism in Russian, referring to shy, timid, quiet girls that usually stay unnoticed.
In our case, GREY MOUSE are a five piece from Moscow that play music rooted in 70s hard psych rock, but also includes trippy Indian/Middle Eastern infused elements enhanced by the use of diverse instruments as sitar, didgeridoo, jaw harp, banjo. "Twisted Tango" is the second physical album of the band, to be issued on vinyl.
Driven by the powerful bluesy voice of Victoria Barsukova the album kicks off with the stoner heavy psych of "Animalism" and continues in an inventive interplay of moods that switch from hard psychedelic tunes to ethnic somber atmospheres. As the album goes on, the mood floats into a gentle, somber, and very compelling tapestry of ethno-psych. While it is great music to lay back and drift away to, there are parts that will bring you back from your reverie by virtue of their stunning beauty.
This is a music which expands full of diverse sounds and a variety of styles that demonstrate how gifted GREY MOUSE really are. "Twisted Tango" is the kind of length and depth worth getting lost in. Open your ears and mind…

Congratulations on another great looking release, Spyros! I've only heard one track by Grey Mouse (didn't know the euphemism before!), from the Trail Record compilation. But it was an excellent song. Looking forward to hearing more from them!
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend. I'll send your copy next week.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is very kind, as always. I'm more or less caught up, so I can review it right away.
