The latest greyhound release, Wilted Pansies In A Broken Vase, was released back in February on Detroit-based label All Gone. From the slow warped beats of opener ‘eternity’ to the piano ballad ‘look up’, each track is anchored by spoken word delivery and a viscous, narcoticized ambience. “Sounds like you found it at the bottom of a melted down mountain dew Slurpee in a Pontiac 7-Eleven parking lot,” the label puts it, “[which]  someone left after buying a bag of Xanax off a dude in a busted Yukon.”

‘AROUND’ brings to mind Mazzy Star song, though one stripped back to its bare bones and slowed to a sluggish sway, while the devotional quality of the sample at the heart of ‘afruitingbody’ juxtaposes against the sedate vocals to create something strange and beguiling. It’s the perfect distillation of some inexpressible feeling at the heart of Wilted Pansies In A Broken Vase and marks greyhound as a unique voice to keep an eye on.

Wilted Pansies In A Broken Vase is out now and available from the greyhound Bandcamp page or via All Gone.
