Grieves - Running Wild - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Known for a unique blend of hip-hop and alt-soul, Grieves has co-produced fourteen new tracks with B. Lewis, combining organic pianos and guitars with synthesizers; a dramatic backdrop for his vocals. Reflecting on growth and maturity, WINTER & THE WOLVES is about the instinctual fight for survival.

2013 remastered limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1969 album. Scheduled to include bonus material. Chess.

Limited double white colored vinyl LP pressing. Seattle rapper/producer Grieves emerged in 2007 with his independently released album, Irreversible. In the years that followed, he wholly devoted himself to touring, writing and recording, honing his craft and defining his sound. His 2011 Rhymesayers debut, Together/Apart, was a career landmark and a testament to his growth in both, his writing and delivery, and this progression was re-affirmed by his follow-up, Winter & The Wolves, in 2014. On Running Wild, Grieves teamed up with Swedish producer Chords. Together, the two have produced a modernized sound that is rich and intoxicating, pairing punchy drums with thick layers of synths and warm bass lines, all accented by soulful keys, horns, or guitars. Whether dark and moody, or upbeat and jazzy, Grieves navigates and complements the soundscape, penning verses that range from vulnerable and confessional, to fun and carefree. Grieves is most certainly breaking boundaries, truly running wild, all while remaining honest to himself.
