We are extremely excited about this Two Steppes / Greyon Greene split! This collaboration will be out on July 24th and is available at our bandcamp. Follow the link in our bio!! :) Two Steppes and Greyon Greene have been close friends since 2016, first crossing paths booking shows in Brooklyn's DIY scene and later joining forces to run the cassette focused label SOLID MELTS in 2020. Fast forward a few years and they felt the time was right to release a split cassette with the help of We Be Friends records. Two Steppes track’s were birthed in the neglected corners and crawl space of a secret fighting game lair. Reconnecting past memories & soundscapes from corrupted hard drives with the sounds of borrowed instruments in the present. Greyon Greene’s side emerged during a four-day pilgrimage to the water spot, a place that has long held influence on the project. Returning to retrace forgotten sounds and paths, Greene channeled the cold, cloud-covered memories of his first recordings when he lived within walking distance to that zone. The resulting three tracks mirror the workflow of his earliest days."

Greyon Greene’s [ NORTH ON NINE ] dropped earlier this month! This new album is the companion to the ‘Hudson Valley 2020-2023’ cassette that dropped earlier this year. Available on CDR and digital download. Limited to just TEN copies on disc. Head over to the SOLID MELTS Bandcamp to grab your copy! All music written and produced by Greyon Greene Recorded at Scully’s (HV/Mid-Atlantic) Cover art and photography by Avery Miller and Greyon Greene
