REVIEW

The second album from Nashville-based solo artist greedi.

Drawing on the heavy, melancholic energy of Deftones, greedi delivers a Nu-Gaze sound that is both intense and atmospheric, with a noticeable increase in shoegaze elements compared to the debut. Lead guitar lines shimmer with sorrowful melodies, and the smooth, romantic vocal delivery makes this record ideal for solitary, twilight listening.

Standout tracks include #8 “Lorelei,” whose heartbreakingly beautiful chorus is sure to stir deep emotion, and #7 “Along the Cut,” where chugging guitars and impassioned screams ignite pure headbanging intensity. Collaborative tracks are also a highlight: #2 “Shove” features Novulent and richmnkey, while #5 “Fir” contrasts greedi’s sound with yuronono’s ethereal vocals, creating striking interplay.

At roughly the same age as Wisp, greedi demonstrates remarkable maturity and skill with this release. This sophomore album confirms a strong trajectory, and anticipation for future work is well justified.
