GRASS HOUSE DEBUT ALBUM – ‘A SUN FULL AND DROWNING’
RELEASED ON MARSHALL TELLER – 28TH OCTOBER 2013
“a lugubrious tale of survival in the face of an increasingly destructive Mother Nature, told like Nick Cave reciting a ghost story to small children over a gothy, bluesy guitar burr” – Pitchfork
London four piece, Grass House are set to release their debut album on Marshall Teller Records on the 28th of October 2013.
‘A Sun Full And Drowning’ was recorded over the last six months at Monnow Valley Studios in Wales with producer Jim Anderson best known for his work with Cold Specks, The Twilight Sad and 2:54. Featuring ten tracks, the album includes new versions of the bands critically acclaimed and sold out singles ‘Spinning As We Turn’ and ‘And Now For The Wild’ and their forthcoming release ‘I Was A Sreetlight’.
Too many highlights to mention, the album sees the band really develop their sound and expand on the exciting promise that was evident on the aforementioned early singles. Taking inspiration from a wide breadth of places; including art, nature, society and the boundaries that cross between each, their self-titled brand of Outsider Pop refers back in part to the somewhat untrained Outsider artists, who working from their own tenets were able to create something much more personal.
Sonically an interest in the sound explorations of Brian Eno, and the more freak-out Velvet Underground jams, as well as more contemporary influences such as The Walkmen, Crystal Stilts, Deerhunter& Ducktails certainly influence, yet through an unerring wish to create something progressive, the band have developed these influences into something unique and captivating.
The Grass House line up of Liam Palmer (vocals), Steven Dove (guitar), Ross Hall (drums) and Nicholas Jones (guitar) , who recently played successful festival shows at East End Live and Green Man, set off on a UK Tour in November.
