Somehow we didn’t get the memo that the Gray Kid
was releasing a new album, but there it is, "Vultures," out today on iTunes.
The man born Steve Cooper says on his new work’s MySpace page that the
album was inspired by Sarah Kane’s play "Phaedra’s Love," and if you’re
familiar with the Gray Kid’s debut "… 5, 6, 7, 8," you know that Cooper
never met a naughty nihilist he didn’t like.
The Gray Kid joins Austin, Texas, ex-pats Oliver Future for a double-barreled
record release show at the Troubadour tonight. Oliver Future is celebrating the proper
release of "Pax Futura," the quintet’s debut album of glam-inspired
agit-pop.
The Music for Robots blog has a download of
the new Gray Kid number "Death of a Boy," along with what seems to me to be a
very valid reference to Dntel.
Blip, blip.
