Here's an incredibly solid pop rock album that has come out of nowhere for me. I wasn't familiar
with Greywind until about four days ago. Apparently this is their second full length album in
nine years. Anyways, I gave a few of their songs a chance and I am pleased to say I found my
first unexpected great album of the year. Severed Heart City is a collection of ten "all killer,
no filler" songs. The Irish duo's songwriting reminds me of Riot-era Paramore while able to get a
little bit darker at times. I would describe the songwriting more generally as smartly written,
catchy, energetic, dynamic, and rather concise in nature. Overall, it's better not to overthink
an album like this. Pop it on for a half hour, find yourself headbanging to "I.K.A.M.F.", catch
yourself singing along to Waterfall's massive chorus, hold yourself for comfort during the
stripped and stirring "The Scarecrow", and don't be surprised when you're itching to start it
over again as "Cope In The Coma" comes to a euphoric and rousing close. Bravo, Greywind. Bravo.

| 3.5 great | Caleb Robinson CONTRIBUTOR | January 16th 26 |
Much MUCH poppier than their debut, and of course I don't love that almost the entire damn thing was released as singles, but this was a super fun listen nonetheless. Just kind of sucks it ends with two mediocre tracks.
