| Info: | As 2005 begins to wind down, it seems as though it’s been a quiet year for McRae Reed & Dave Ruin. But the two Chicago natives ˆ better known to the world as Grayarea ˆ are preparing to let the world know that the word “quiet” couldn’t possibly be further from the truth. Grayarea first exploded onto the electronic dance scene in 2002 and beyond with a series of genre-bending singles. Though they haven’t released a new original track or remix in months, they’ve been hard at work in the studio. While their career has been built on a foundation of DJ-friendly 12-inch vinyl singles, their new material is rapidly becoming focused on the opposite end of the spectrum. The duo became well known over the early years of their career for citing their upbringing in the close-knit industrial and punk rock communities of Chicago during the early- to mid-90’s. Those influences were always made most apparent in the energy of their unparalleled live shows. But when they made a conscious effort to shut out the influences that came from producing for a DJ and began producing the album they originally set out to make, the sharper edges of their youth began to force their way through into their recorded music as well. McRae, alongside production partner & vocalist Ruin, spent the first half of 2005 laying down the groundwork for their debut album, breaking only for a small handful of club & festival dates. As the recording sessions developed, more of the vocal & guitar elements typically reserved for the stage were introduced in the control room, and their sound began to get harder & more refined. A few demos of the forthcoming material leaked from the studio, and gained the interest of Belgium-based industrial pioneers Front 242. A few weeks later, an invitation was extended for Grayarea to support their forthcoming North American tour. The live dates with Front 242 will provide the group with an outlet to road test their latest offerings to an entirely new audience before returning home to finish production on their record. The month-long tour begins November 3rd in Vancouver, BC. Grayarea’s debut album is slated for release in the spring of 2006.
