Greetings is an amorphous superorganism of musicians in Hartford, CT led by Daniel Carr. Members from Mantis, King Bongo, SLOOF, Phat A$tronaut, and Donnie Alexzander have contributed to its expanding universe of analog psychedelia. Their debut record, released in the summer of 2018, is a hazy dreamworld. If you let yourself, you can lose yourself in their cosmic embrace.

In 2019, Greetings… has released a string of singles. “K.I.E” is an entrancing slow burner with an accompanying camcorder collage visual. “Untitled One” casts a shimmering haze with a underlying conviction. Their June tune “Siccem” is a burst of dark matter from an iridescent pearl. Featuring ephemeral vocal trades by Maebe, Ym, Eugene and Dan, we’re left with a question plaguing us all, “What’s this world coming to?” Then came “Falling.” Of the four singles the band released in 2019, this one breathes softer, reminiscing on those formative moments of falling for someone.

2020’s Ephemerality EP and accompanying short film brought the band’s technicolor haze to the silver screen. At the end of 2024, Greetings… returned with their highly anticipated full-length album, Only Memories. Daniel Carr’s vivid lyrics and pristine production create a blissful surreality of crystalline recollection, almost like journaling about a lucid dream. Only Memories feels like it was crafted in that liminal space between dreaming and sleeplessness, between full presence and fond memory. Toeing that line, these songs are Daniel’s finest display yet of lyrics and melodies, all cloaked in a warm analog haze. This fabric of time is breathing, yes, expanding and enfolding as we change— as we adapt to the people and world around us.
