Clear, resonant melodic guitar leads create a sombre hint of foreboding that is amplified by the otherworldly harmonised vocals.
The sonics may feel warm and welcoming, but there is an ice that courses through these songs, ensuring that you know everything is not quite what it seems. Hailing from Minnesota, Green/Blue’s distinctive post-punk calls on shoegaze and indie-pop in equal measure to work its unsettling magic.
The dark and dreamy halftoned realism of Green/Blue comes into near-perfect focus across ‘Paper Thin’. Ever the prolific recording duo, Jim Blaha and Annie Sparrows are back with their third album in as many years, following previous releases on HoZac and Slovenly. Their Minneapolis basement studio has yet again translated to tape what many in the post-punk realm often fail to realize – a certain icy-cool confidence. Chilling vocal harmonies resonate atop melodic guitar leads and a razor-sharp rhythm section as the album stretches to just under twenty-five minutes. Green/Blue evoke a certain sombre and honest set of sonics, distilling the now and pondering the future as these ten tracks spin vibrantly at 45 RPM.
