reviews
„The Darkness In Me“ ist das eindrucksvolle Debüt der in Deutschland lebenden US-Amerikanerin Sally Grayson. Dass sie nicht erst gestern angefangen hat Musik zu machen, merkt man schon beim titelgebenden Opener. Da wird man zunächst vom Sprechgesang ihrer kehligen und äusserst kraftvollen Stimme sanft in den Song eingesogen, um sich dann beim explosiven Refrain vor wohligen Schauern entlang des Rückens nicht mehr retten zu können. Tight, nach vorne und sehr audiophil produziert, gelingt hier ein nicht nur gesanglich fulminanter Einstieg in ein grossartiges Album.
“This is a very good album. I think the closest comparison musically would be to some of Cat Power’s darker stuff, with hints of Over the Rhine in their rockingest mode (some of the Films for Radio material, for instance). Lyrically, the album is about yearning. Longing for love. It’s a theme that we’ve seen elsewhere in Grayson’s work. It doesn’t exclude romantic love, but it’s not exclusively about it either. It pokes and prods at the yearning to belong, to be known. And it’s all held together well by the dark, pining sounds of the desert from which the music came.”
To Go Berlin Magazine
Das erste Soloalbum von Sally Grayson „The darkness in me“ wurde bei uns Album des Monats, weil es einfach herausragend und anders war. Kollege Mertens schrieb: “Irgendwo zwischen Nick Cave und Nancy Sinatra breitet Sally ihren American Pop-Rock aus und klingt dabei so vertraut, als hätten alle Radiostationen im Land ihre Songs rauf und runter gespielt.“ Aber das haben sie nicht und auch das Format „The voice of Germany“ konnte ihr nicht wirklich helfen, sie ist eben besonders und besonders ist heutzutage nicht massentauglich. Grund genug für uns mal intensiver mit Sally zu unterhalten.
“Geisterhafte Western-Sounds aus der Wüste wehen heran. Hitze flirrt. Akustische Wucht paart sich mit drängelnder Strom-Gitarre und reichlich Tremolo. Alles strebt ins Weite. Dort draußen knallt es dann. Beim Duell der Revolverhelden. Doch es gibt auch diese verhaltenen Töne. Oder mal ein Duett mit einem Fremden. Plus Pedal Steel. Remember Lee Hazlewood? Jemand pfeift sich eins. Drones sorgen für eine unwirkliche Stimmung. Garagen-Blues bollert. Americana voller Drama.”
- Maerkische Allgemeine
“The beauty of The Darkness In Me is captured by the melodic and instrumental brilliance slingshotting the human spirit around the globe, time traveling through ancient suffering, only to return the precious gift to battle the demons that emerge from within: the image in the mirror. The songs contain power received from freeing the human psyche from the tethers of senseless annihilation."
The album is human art in ascension medium.”

SEE ME HUMAN from BLACK SWIFT
“Much needed thoughts wrapped in blazing and crisp blues and punk-tinged rock n roll." -Global Texan Chronicles
“Stuttgarts schönstes Album in 2017.” - Stuttgarter Zeitung
Grayson explains the backdrop: “I believe what this world needs so desperately right now is for us to stop and really look at each other. To see the other person first as a fellow human being worthy of love and value, the same as us, and to listen to them: what is their story, their history, what motivates them to make the decisions they make?”
