Local Stroud Indie pop act From White To Gray present you an impressive honest introductory debut  ‘When You Go’ EP
 ++++PRESS++++++PRESS+++++PRESS++++++SO FAR++++++
Video premier from It’s All Indie - “Charlie Gray’s solo project From White To Gray is brimming with exciting music, which is shown from his formula of gelatinous and intricate sounds.”
 
The official video ‘When You Go’ premiered on United By Pop
 
“Delicate indie wonder, in my weekly top 5” – Music News
 "You’ve got a great visual presence.” - Alfitude
 
“This indie-pop tune has a groovy dance beat and is incredibly infectious.” - Caesar Live N Loud

'Push and Pull' looks into the back and forth mentality of being in and out of relationships and what it means not to commit.
Fragile soul bearing vocals open this story to great effect, riding the laid back head bopping foot tapping catchy grooves of shadows esque guitar with a sparkling production of synths.

This song’s about a bloke I know.  He tends to find life a bit difficult because he overly frets about stuff.  I mean, you and me might worry we’ll lose our loved-ones in some monstrous accident, but he’s the kind who’ll drive himself into towering anxiety about a remark he remembers making in 1973.  

So as a result, I suppose you’d say he’s something of a recluse, but will occasionally put in a surprise appearance, and invariably gets the very warmest of welcomes.  But although he does want to be, he’s not back.

Gordon has done such superb work on this song - he’s captured everything it is about and so much more.  Gal and me are incredibly lucky to be able to work with such a fine musician - he makes the process so pleasurable and so easy.

NOT BACK

Alone again on my own
I don't know where the time has gone
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Words of friendship in my head
Too many spaces with nothing said
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

CHORUS:
I don't know who I want to be
It's not me
I don't know who I want to see
It's not me
It's not me

Many friends say they understand
Distant echoes of a silent band
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

There's no witness to the tears I've cried
No Samaritan will live by my side
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

CHORUS

Waking silence a constant voice 
Answer questions not always by choice
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Much to do but so much pain
Straining muscles inside my brain 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Middle instrumental break

CHORUS

Waiting moments a chance to breathe
Thinner air makes it harder to achieve 
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Sideways thinking but nothing heard
One voice to keep you happy another voice to keep it blurred 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

No I'm not back.             
And I'm not back          
Again…

This song is based on an interesting conflict that occurred between an urban young vixen and my daughter who came face to face in our back garden. Both of them seemed to object to sharing what I thought was a fairly large space and each time my daughter opened the back door the fox appeared. This went on for some time until my daughter stated that she would not go into the garden until the fox had gone and continually moaned about the situation at every opportunity. She kept telling me about the fox, I think expecting her Dad (me) to do something about it but every time I went in to the back garden the vixen would disappear. It became a major intrusion of her personal space and she was not happy.
On Christmas Day 2015 I decided that I should, as far as the fox situation was concerned, try and help my daughter’s confidence and said that I wanted to take some festive pictures at the bottom of the garden. I recorded the whole event on camera but I am not sure that it helped.  In retrospect, maybe dressing my son Daniel as a fox wasn't the wisest way of achieving this...

Hans took what was a simple, three chord uke song and turned it into this wonderful thing, as he always seems to do.  That man is a truly extraordinary talent.  He also put together the video from the one and a half minutes worth of footage we took, so it seems there really is nothing he cannot do...

Chorus:
The Fox is coming to town
The Fox is coming to town.    

The Fox is taking over
She has a dominating stare
The eyes shine like lasers
Her teeth so sharp to scare

Chorus
The Fox is taking over
She wants to occupy my space
Every movement getting closer
Soon be standing face to face

Chorus
The Fox is taking over
I must get my tactics right
Stand and face her eye to eye
Getting ready for the fight

Chorus
The Fox is taking over
I will pretend to be really scared
There can be only one winner
And she'll be the one who's red

Chorus
The Fox is taking over
I haven't seen her for a while
I now stand in a different place
I think it really suits my style

Chorus (Repeat)
