Acritarche Du rock progressif original, parfois un rien barré, jamais ennuyant. Merci à Tonton Alias pour cette belle découverte. Favorite track: Of Woe / Migratory Birds.

Stéphane Gallay Même si l’album a un côté très éclectique, on sent assez rapidement que Gravitysays_i sait où il va. Finalement, le plus gros défaut de ce Quantum Unknown, c'est que ce n’est pas un album à mettre entre toutes les oreilles. Personnellement, je recommande cette découverte. Favorite track: Of Woe / Migratory Birds.

Ioannis Andreadakis Excellent album. Amazing quality for the Greek rock scene.

Cannot pick a favourite track, it's a concept album that has to be heard all together.

Claudine Baillet Un très bel album! La rencontre entre le rock progressif, le post-rock, un soupçon de New-Wave à la Minimal Compact et de l'inspiration à chaque seconde. UN GRAND BRAVO!!!!!

TONY ZAGORAIOS Gravitysays_i is one of the most experimental bands our there. They manage to combine a variety of styles, under the influence of traditional instruments from their origin. Love this album. Favorite track: An Ivory Heart.

I know Time will Sharpen the outlines and boundaries Decipher forms Decipher tones Beyond the indiscernible And back to my heart A dot A line The tip of a mountain In poor light Deliberate collision course A tragedy yet ethical My cherished debris I would name it “The ever changing ritual” All over me Over and over again Dominating the uneven path Grim and sharp turns Bravery to unfold
2.
Of Woe I have given up the word No more veiled pretense Oh, the word Suffocating and meager And I’m trying to keep Breathing in heat Recount the untold Notion and belief A Doubted way Vague outcome Evolving term And regrettable measure The angle will drift Meaning will heave Into a wider frame Of woe Dwell within the warm curves - Imperial father figure - Of woe Unthinkable, in range, field Widened out by breathing Enraging vibration Of a petrified motif Given the tone Given the rhythm Of woe My heart Will carry on Pondering on the world The unhidden beauty and The dark grey heavy air Οpen the doors Anything may befall Be humble and grateful Humble and grateful Migratory Birds I remember The day I heard “The raindrops you feel Are not for real Neither rainbows are” And then I broke into a thousand migratory birds On the ocean On newfound grounds On the heady breeze The firmament! - Purple - Fiery red I’m heading there where, what I’ve been told, can be undone

Dowser 03:16
I hold the Grail A divining rod There, in the battlefield Fragments are hidden I hold the Grail A divining rod Collect them all, I shall And then accomplished I’ll re-crumple
4.
Fallen Perished Hunger and grief Leaf by leaf “The brown remnants” Wilted on the ground Wilted on the ground Dedicated Upward bound Tailwind On half curved edges Within my branchlike hands - Scented branchlike hands - Astounded, I found An ivory heart Oh painful hail Breathtaking heat, unpleasant drought Wild, infinite rain Let seasons dissolve me
5.
Every Man 06:10
Weary in the head Though eager to tread Tightrope for credence Heaven for hell Deepening void Time in reverse will take back All my efforts All of my ways Indifferent crowd In the middle of nowhere If I will not save me Nobody will Every man for himself On the whole - I’ve earned it - A worn out fragment Of the truth in me Hailing from my forehead Dark or bright
6.
Hidden truth You, with the riveted eye Haunted youth Haunted the mindful Hidden truth Nobody worthy Tangible thread Intangible the end Oh! I'm trapped In a wicked web That imitates your grandeur A noble waif Overwhelmed and hungry Carrying A riveted eye

about

It’s been a long time since the release of their previous album “The Figures Of Enormous Grey And The Patterns Of Fraud” (2011). Gravitysays_i are back with their third album, “Quantum Unknown”, which makes the long wait worthwhile.

If their previous album was a big battle with themselves, “Quantum Unknown” is the liberation from their own selves. In this mood they began creating this album of 6 tracks, which is the result of four years of recordings and intense experimentation of the band in new fields of music and lyrics. This time, the band’s themes play with every knowledgeable form in an attempt to escape from the human gaze itself. Music-wise the experimental and electronic element replaces the electric effusions of their previous work.

"Quantum Unknown" will be released on vinyl, cd and digital album via Inner Ear in September 2016.

The current Gravitysays_i line-up is:
Manos Paterakis (vocals, santur, guitar)
Nikos Retsos (drums, synths)
Mampre Kasardjian (bass)
Nikos Sotiropoulos (guitar)
Costas Stergiou (keyboards)
Vangelis Κatsarelis (trumpet)

Additional musicians playing on this album:
Alekos Georgoulopoulos – guitar
George Kontogiannis – Cretan lyra
Peggy Zarrou – vocals
