Once at the forefront of doomgaze, the heavy branch of shoegaze’s recent renaissance, Greet Death choose to re-imagine themselves on “Die in Love”, their first album in six years, by adding soft layers of optimism in songs about being miserable and depressed. There are pretty, tranquil moments from both co-leads Logan Gaval and Harper Boyhtari, as their light, floating voices and newfound hopefulness feel almost as seismic as their big, crushing guitars. “Die in Love’s” delightful sonic pivots between sludgy walls of sound, hushed acoustic ballads and rich storytelling have set Greet Death apart from their peers.
“Die In Love” is a beautifully melancholic album by Greet Death. The band’s dizzying melodic nature shines throughout its nine tracks, featuring delicate acoustic shimmers, somber percussion, and high-volume post-everything fuzz.
