The LA synth-punk band Grey Factor did not last long — just from 1979 to 1980 — and they didn’t leave a huge impression in their day. But Grey Factor’s intense beep-snarp music feels eternally cool, and the band has gotten a couple of reissues lately — a complete studio collection in 2023, a live album last year. This fall, we’re getting a new Grey Factor collection called When The Future Arrives Without You. It combines all the tracks from the previous two comps, as well as two new recordings — the first from this band in 45 years.
