Marking their first new music of 2024, Grayscale has shared the heart-on-your-sleeve, deeply personal ballad “Mum II,” a follow-up to “Mum” featured on the group’s 2017 debut full-length album Adornment. “This is a love song about my mother,” vocalist Collin Walsh explains of the release. “Her and I have had a difficult relationship for a long time for many reasons.

Officially, it’s a day to assuage anger and practice forgiveness—but let’s be real here: that’s about as engaging as a rainy day lecture on the history of watching paint dry. In the interest of feeding our delusion of music being a cure-all, we’ve opted for a decidedly more “teenage angst” approach in celebrating the sanctioned… Read more »
