‘Grey Snakes’ is written about a Raymond Carver ghost and a pretty cool silhouette it cuts too. Nothing too revelatory is expounded, the music has a deft touch and Brandon Durham has an enticing yet melancholic vocal style. The gift arrives when the singing ends and a tumbling set of jangling guitars shimmer like a green hued vision on the landing. Wave after wave of honeyed riffs cascade in circular directions creating a memorable chord waltz. Palaxy Tracks have a terribly long-winded explanation for their name (involving Dinosaurs) and have of late been losing band members. The good news is that the central character, Durham, remains in situ which means the Austin based band will someday soon have a 4th album to add to their considerable array of product. KD
