GREYWIND – SEVERED HEART CITY – ALBUM REVIEW
It’s been nine years since Greywind released their debut album – that is if you believe that 2017 is that long ago! It’s been quite the ride for the sibling fronted group during the intervening years with setbacks such as being unceremoniously dropped by their label and eventual highs such as 2024 EP ‘Antidote’ which won our EP of the Year award.
Even now hurdles appear, but after having to delay the release date, the band are here to kick off 2026 is a heavy dose of emotive pop rock. ‘Severed Heart City’ is an ambitious collection ready to hit you right in the feels.
That postponed release does mean that a lot of the album is already in the public domain, so those that have already jumped onboard will have a good idea of what to expect. Still the album as a whole is worth your investment and is an accessible and highly listenable record.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘ACID RAIN’
If you are new to the band, then now is naturally a great time to get on the hype train. The album opens with the real one-two punch of ‘Acid Rain’ and ‘I.K.A.M.F.’ before settling in with the first unheard track, ‘Happy :):’.
‘Waterfall’ follows and demonstrates both the maturity of the songwriting on ‘Severed Heart City’ but also, as a tale of unrequited love, the raw emotion that this record captures. Indeed, across the album the growth in creative narrative from Steph and Paul O’Sullivan is a joy to hear.
There is big energy throughout the album and tender moments such as ‘The Scarecrow’ which bring depth to what is a well-rounded and thoroughly enjoyable record. A great start to the year and a big moment in the career of Greywind!
