The Last Tibetan Midnight

Chaos is swallowed by beauty. Beauty turns into reflection. Reflection is offset by disturbance. So it goes with The Last Tibetan Midnight where songs take on lives of their own, revealing inner suns of psychedelic harmonies, still allowing the light to fade into intermittent darkness. Again, The Greening mix styles, but in a way with lends itself more to painting than collageism. The songs still contrast, but with blended palettes. Improved vocals and production shine through, showing nebulous arrangements and thoughtful respite. Rockers like “Don’t Have the Time” read more

bash hard with loud drums, guitars, synths, and sound effects. Lackadaisical pop numbers like “Sunday Afternoon,” saunter through the subconscious with hooks and echoed choruses. Maturing as writers and musicians, The Greening show again their ability to play with sound in a way that is both new and familiar. Leaving the past behind, The Greening continue their search for the ancient. read less

(She's so) Electric EP

On (SHES SO) ELECTRIC, The Greening singer/guitarist Will Loving, keyboardist/vocalist Karl Meischen, drummer Nick Tatro accomplish their mission again, delivering songs whose pop sensibilities are matched by their underlying attention to detail. With stronger vocals and a more solid sound, songs like (Shes So) Electric and Sunday Afternoon detail the bands continual evolution. While swathes of delayed resonance float between snare cracks and vocal lines, the compositions never fall apart, rather, coalescing into original numbers as unique as their San Francisco home base. With their eccentric synergy coming read more

to the forefront once again, listeners are left with a feeling reciprocal to the band's - a feeling of curiosity. The ideology behind their sound evolves from an appreciation of the psychedelic movement, forgotten 70s art rock, classic 60s pop, and the ultimate desire to combine elements of all of these with a psychotic injection of punk energy. The Greening s mission statement is to push pop music to new frontiers through their blend of accessible experimentation. Combining memorable hooks, strong melodies and cascading vocal harmonies, the band craft instantly memorable songs. However, the radio friendly nature of the songwriting disguises its underlying complexity. Surprise bridges and unexpected arrangements/time signatures unite to enhance the compositions in an integrated fashion. read less

After Shoal Parlor

In a collagist fashion, the variety of stylings take the listener across a landscape of music history, landing them squarely in the twilight of music the world is waking up to. The familiar is there to be heard, but in a way that is neither nostalgic nor retro. Cascading vocal harmonies meet with brash psychedelic noise. Freewheeling rock is touched off by synthetic revelry. Songs like “The Situation (She’s My Baby Now)” are steeped in 70s glam rock attitude only to be contrasted with the harmony laden melancholic 60s pop of “Cry.” Each time through, new layers are there to be discovered; new side melodies to be exposed. The love of design is apparent in these arrangements, read more

and the organic-ness of their recording takes unintended mistakes and builds them into castles. All together, After Shoal Parlor lays the foundation for music which would choose not to be restrained. read less
