Gregory Scott Slay was a husband, father, and musician - known most notably as a member of Remy Zero. Before he succumbed to Cystic Fibrosis on Jan 1, 2010, Slay completed his final musical salvo, Horsethief Beats / The Sound Will Find You. Performed and recorded by Slay with contributions from fellow Remy Zero alum, Jeffery Cain and Cedric LaMoyne, Horsethief Beats is an album tailor-made for smokey late nights - recalling Bowie's twisted, late-seventies funk, Tom Waits' shambolic bliss, and just a touch of latter day NIN. But for every dark turn there is a beautiful hook and a weightless vocal - apropos to the fact that Slay lived every day of his life to the fullest. And though he's gone, his music and legacy remain. The sound will find you, indeed.
