Angel of the Month: Erin Welton
November 1st, 2006
The sound of Autumn’s Grey Solace is defined by the beautifully appealing voice of Erin Welton and the lush, ethereal guitar work of Scott Ferrell. They combine their talents to create well-structured yet very unique compositions. Their sound is largely guitar oriented, with melodic bass and organic drum textures. The crystalline guitars are often layered to create a shoegazing wall of sound. Erin’s emotive voice and incredible lyric writing blends perfectly within this opulent arrangement to fulfill the sonic masterpieces with splendor.
Autumn’s Grey Solace was founded by instrumentalist/composer Scott Ferrell and vocalist/lyricist Erin Welton.
In early 2000, they started recording their 1st album, Within The Depths Of A Darkened Forest. This self-released debut featured a deep, ambient sound. Recording was completed in 2001, and the album was released in 2002.
