Hailing from first Frankfurt, then more recently Berlin, in Germany, Florian Grey channels all the mystique of the latter’s notorious nightclub scene into this full length offering of darkpop/rock gems.

Like a hard rock Bowie or Gary Numan, Grey explores his songs with the assurance of someone far more experienced, delivering a collection that is equal parts neo-industrial pop and twisted melodic heartbreaking songs of yearning.

Laudanum has the chops to be a bonafide hit, and on A Black Symphony Grey channels all the angst he can summon to create a minor epic with shades of Bowie, Reznor, Danzig and more.

It all adds up to a truly interesting, confident album from Grey, one which hopefully will serve as just an appetiser for even greater delights to follow.
