ADDS 10/13/09

St. Louis' Grace Basement returns with their latest effort, Gunmetal Gray. Led by songwriter, fiddler, and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Buckley, Gunmetal Gray restates Buckley's knack for creating intensely crafted power pop anthems. Think of more rock'n Andrew Bird with the pop sensibilities of Brendon Benson, the craftiness of St. Vincent and the presence of classic works from the late 60's and early 70's. From the dance hall influenced melody of "Tilly Lingers," to the psychedelic mantra of "Warships" the record marks new territory while nodding to the rich backdrop of Buckley's musical cache.

"Few bands anywhere spin out songs that spring to life with a simple, earthy joy and heart-on-sleeve sentiment - but Grace Basement and Gunmetal Gray achieve this balance with emotional maturity and musical intuition." - Christian Schaeffer (Riverfront Times)
