The Grey Agents have a new single coming out March 28, 2025 called “The Only One.”
“I wrote the lyrics about my wife,” says singer/guitarist Brian Cottrill, “and I knew The Grey Agents would be the perfect band to record it.” Drummer Bob Workman adds, “It has a Motown chorus and a rock verse.” “I sang high harmony with Brian and added some saxophone leads,” said Phil Wyatt. “John Anderson Farmer plays a fun active bass part that moves the chorus,” said lead guitarist Phil Wyatt. Davin Seamon plays piano and organ and says, “It’s a high energy song and Seth and I got to throw in fun melodic fills on top of the driving beat.” Bassist John Anderson Farmer adds, “The song was recorded live in a couple hours with everyone playing together. Final vocals were added in the days that followed.” Brian Cottrill says, “We’ve been making videos for every song that we release since 2020. And we wanted to try something new for this song: stop motion video. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’ video are examples of stop motion video. About 1000 photographs were taken to to make this video. It was definitely a new process for us.”
