onionBoy_btwihateonions This is The Salteens at their best. This album is like no album I have heard in the past 10 years or so and that is so refreshing. You can tell the music here is super inspired, and whether or not you're a nut for 60s'-70s' pop (I'm sorta), there's no denying the sweet nature of this music. This is, simply put, one of the best albums to have come out in modern times... as far as my opinion is considered. I got rid of my illegitimate copy just to support The Salteens, if that's any sign. Favorite track: Savings and Loans.

about

Grey Eyes nods towards sophisticated '60s European and American pop constructionists (Gainsbourg, Bacharach, the other Scott Walker) and brass-tacks workmanlike hit-makers of yore (Tin Pan Alley, the Brill Building), while acknowledging transformative pop heirs from the '70s and '80s (Godley & Crème, The Smiths). Yet far from being a mash-up of influences, Grey Eyes captures the freshness that marked the dawn of popular music and periodically renews it – no matter what hurts and indignities pop songs are woven from, a transcending embrace of possibility remains a genre fundamental.

Featuring 10 of the band's most spectacular songs recorded to date, Grey Eyes – polished, crisp, sprightly, and architecturally realized – is a sublime and energetic continuation of the band’s catalogue.
