From Austin, TX comes Exeter, a space rock outfit that hurled itself on the scene four years ago. With “Grey Noise, White Lies” they just released their debut full-legnth, out on Pop Up Records in the States and Engineer Records in the UK.
They offer a batch of fierce rock songs, spacey riffage and ambient parts and end up sounding like a crossover between Gravenhurst and Cave In with opener “Bittersweet Vanity”, “Shadowboxing” and “Red Dress” as my personal favorites. Vocalist J. Michael Parker has a good voice for this type of music, sounding a bit nasal but with a wide range. In “Red Dress” he even sounds a little like that dude from Muse.
While there is still room for improvement (more hooks, bigger climaxes), “Grey Noise, White Lies” is a solid debut offering that should garner them some more attention.
Score: 7 out of 10
