Penning new songs, manipulating tape drones created from various studio experiments and rearranging old favourites, &#8216;Warm Shadow&#8217; is meant to create a parallel world which illuminates\u00a0the dynamic contrasts that reside on &#8216;Outer Heaven&#8217;\u00a0and within Greys themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Where &#8216;<em>Outer Heaven<\/em>&#8216; focused more broadly both musically and lyrically, tackling topics like xenophobia and mental health issues within an expansive sonic landscape, &#8216;Warm Shadow&#8217;\u00a0is far more insular. Frontman Shehzaad Jiwani explores both the personal and the abstract, with lyrics about Jiwani&#8217;s spiritual connection to his grandmother who passed before he was born (<em>Minus Time<\/em>) to his vision of a dystopian future inspired by institutional oppression (<em>Fresh Hell<\/em>). Grandiose soundscapes the band previously wandered are replaced with subtly textured, lo-fi experimentalism by way of Broadcast (<em>Trish K<\/em>) or the tense minimalism of mid-period Sonic Youth (<em>Space Mountain<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;<\/em>Warm Shadow<em>&#8216;<\/em>\u00a0occupies a space between larger statements that fills in the broader strokes Greys have painted in the past.
