Greg Ashley

Along with fronting <a href="spotify:artist:06hPRTiX99Am7kRHo5EFE4">the Gris Gris</a> and operating the Creamery recording studio, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Greg Ashley also performs as a solo artist, concentrating on the delicately trippy psych-folk that occasionally makes its way into his band's louder, more unpredictable music. Late in 2003, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Birdman%22">Birdman</a> released his debut album, Medicine Fuck Dream, which drew comparisons to <a href="spotify:artist:77Y0KBizhqrlcI3NN3iGcs">Mayo Thompson</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7hCsRnXtcbez8msLPfjbkz">Roky Erickson</a>. Ashley's second solo album, Painted Garden, arrived early in 2007, and though it had considerably cleaner production than his debut, it shared the same free-flowing songwriting and surreal lyrics. In 2010 he dropped the completely experimental Requiem Mass & Other Experiments on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Birdman%22">Birdman</a>. The opening title track (a whole side of a conventional LP) is the preeminent work here, while the rest features a series of smaller musical and sonic adventures. In 2014, Ashley returned with his first album for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Trouble+in+Mind%22">Trouble in Mind</a>, the comparatively modest and low-key set Another Generation of Slaves. <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Trouble+in+Mind%22">Trouble in Mind</a> also released Ashley's 2017 effort Pictures of Saint Paul Street, a melodic, low-key, and often personal set of songs. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
