“von Grey is made up of four real-life sisters. Think of them like Mumford & Daughters,” quipped TeamCoco.com when von Grey performed on “Conan” earlier this year. Today the show’s website is premiering the indie-alt-folk band’s brand new video, “Come On.” The clip, which was directed by Mary Caroline Mann and Bobby Russell, can be viewed here.
“Come On” is the first single from von Grey’s forthcoming EP, Awakening, which will be released on January 21, 2014. The song, which just went to radio, is available now at all digital retailers, including iTunes.
Awakening is the follow-up to the band’s self-titled 2012 EP, which shot into iTunes’ Top 10 after von Grey’s appearance on “Conan.” The new EP was recorded with Rick Beato (NEEDTOBREATHE, Trey Anastasio, Shinedown, Charlie Mars). While it still showcases what Billboard hailed as their “crystalline harmonies, stirring lyrics and inventive melodies,” Awakening finds the band juxtaposing its raw acoustic sound with more modern instrumentation. “The new songs are a little more intricate musically,” explains Fiona von Grey.
von Grey – comprising co-lead singer/songwriters Annika (violin, banjo, guitar, keys) and Fiona (guitar, violin, percussion), Petra (keys, lap steel guitar, background vocals) and Kathryn (cello, bass, mandolin, keys, background vocals) – will be previewing songs from Awakening on their fall tour, which includes a show at New York City’s Mercury Lounge on Monday, November 11, with JD Wilkes and the Dirt Daubers and dates with Rusted Root and Carbon Leaf.
