Keep On Talking Ft. My Dirty Habit

Dead Leaf (feat. Barbara Moleko)

I Need A Dollar (Cee-Roo Remix)

I wrote this when a friend kept saying the catchphrase.   This is meant to be a male and female vocal track but I think you’ll get the gist of it.

Do You Like?  (0588)

I read it in your eyes tonight
The city glows, but yours burn bright
Velvet shadows, soft disguise
Your gaze will never lie

I taste it on your quiet lips
Whispered truths in gentle slips
Bittersweet and undefined
Your mouth betrays the mind

No need for words, the silence speaks
A hidden fire, a fevered leak
Every hush becomes a spell
Like a cry beneath the veil

Stay with me, don’t drift away
Desire moves in subtle sway
Not in anger, not in pain
Something deeper still remains

I feel it in your trembling hands
Holding back, but no command
Every shiver writes a line
Gestures echo into time

I sense it in your fragile skin
Too much heat, where to begin?
Wild devotion, tender claim
Your body signs its name

No need for words, the silence speaks
A hidden fire, a fevered leak
Every hush becomes a spell
Like a cry beneath the veil

Stay with me, don’t drift away
Desire moves in subtle sway
Not in anger, not in pain
Something deeper still remains

If we close our eyes tonight
Will the voices lose their fight?
If we break the codes we keep
Will you leave, or fall with me?

If the skyline starts to fall
Will you catch me through it all?
If I burn the world for you
Will you love me, or fade from view?

Stay with me, don’t drift away
Desire moves in subtle sway
Not in anger, not in pain
Something deeper still remains

If I lose control tonight
Will you fall… or follow in the night?

I feel it (Sophisti Pop reload)

1/12 - Toward The Unknown

Pre-Order vinyl now: http://www.ceeroo.ch/shop

Cee-Roo left on a quest for unused tones...

Standing on a small boat, and armed with his trusty tape recorder, he travelled down a mysterious river. On this path, he collected sounds and encounters, which gave birth to 12 tracks retracing his journey.

4/12 - Must Get Down

I was sailing quietly on my raft, along the river.
Suddenly, an imposing rusty submarine appeared on the surface. The hatch opened and an old skinny man came out.
He handed me his Whiskey bottle and screamed me drunkly to join him on board ...

The inside looked like a shabby piano bar, with empty bottles on the floor and old pinup paintings.

We sang and drank all night long !

10/12 - Make Time For Your Dreams

As I admired the magnificent sunset on the horizon, my raft entered a collision with a tree in the middle of the river.
I climbed to the top and saw a man standing on the highest branch and scanning the sky through a telescope.

Without even looking at me, he told me that life was too short and that we should live out our dreams as long as there is still time.

11/12 - Gonna Make You Dance

I felt that I was at the end of my journey. The river was becoming more and more narrower and my tape recorder was already filled with sounds.

As I left my raft to get something to eat in the arid plain, I saw a powerful young woman in front of me, singing something like "I'm gonna make you dance, on the floor." 

All of a sudden, my arms and legs duplicated and I began to dance without being able to control anything.

An infectious brand of subterranean pop fused with soul, funk and breaks cleverly spliced together to create the distinctive sound of Grinny Grandad. Based on the scissors and string mind of Chris Morton, the bands reputation for originality has earned them shows at major festivals including Glastonbury and Beat-Herder .

Described as 'Motown meets Def Jam' by Groove Armada for their 2010 release 'The Good Girl', 2013 sees Grinny Grandad set to release their latest EP, 'The Car-Bootleg'. The lead track, 'Monty' which samples Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well', spliced seamlessly with a recreation of the 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' theme song is superbly topped with the vocals of Claire Swain. It is this gem that perfectly showcases the bands exuberance, earning the track comparisons to Jon Bonham of Led Zeppelin from BBC Radio 6 host, Tom Robinson.

“I’ve not heard drums played with such power and feeling since Jon Bonham of Led Zeppelin.” 
- Tom Robinson, BBC 6 music

The quirky undertone of 'Swim Fish' blends vocals reminiscent of 1930's Pioneer Days Mickey Mouse with hard hitting breaks. An unlikely marriage of music and yet it works incredibly well. The ability to successfully shift, merge and mix genres comes natural to Grinny Grandad. 

The final track on the EP, 'Q The Pimp', a floor filling break beat anthem with a smart groove, promises to render you helpless as the guitar riffs intensify and the rhythm swells fittingly paired with the line 'everybody rumble.' Not just anyone can sample PJ and Duncan and get away with it.

This summer Grinny Grandad will be performing on the festival circuit, starting with Beat-Herder festival in early July.

‘Riding the beats are soul-driven vocals, catchy flutes, sleazy organs and electrifying trumpet freakouts which should provide all five of your five a day.’

‘Feel good funk’ – Fame Magazine
