Taken from their critically acclaimed third album ‘Everyone Was A Bird’, ‘Radar’ is the new single from Grasscut, the duo of Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair. 

Literally, and metaphorically, about the search for illumination ‘Radar’ was written by Phillips on a clear cold night in a forest in mid Wales, whilst lights from both across the estuary and the ancient stars above flickered through the trees, and borrows its title and chorus line ‘the world is dark as radar’ from American poet George Oppen. 

Featuring propulsive drums, intense Moog bass, clipped pizzicato strings that ping like photons from Geese and vocals from Elisabeth Nygård and Andrew Phillips, Radar is a highlight of an album described as “inspiring “ by The Wire and “thoughtful and beautifully reflective" by Electronic Sound.

Accompanying the original is a remix by noted New Zealand born composer and violinist, and former member of the Durutti Column, John Metcalfe who carefully deconstructs the song, teasing apart each individual element allowing us to immerse ourselves in each individual note.

PRESS PRAISE FOR ‘EVERYONE WAS A BIRD’

"As much an all-encompassing art piece as it is a pop record, EWAB would make the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon flat on your back at a sun-strafed festival this summer" - Q

"Inspiring" - The Wire

“Thoughtful and beautifully reflective" - Electronic Sound

“Beautifully simple music – as experimental as it’s pop-oriented” - The Irish Times 

“it’s all as accessible as the countryside, with a sweeping sense of the arcadian in the grandly arranged Cinematic Orchestra- style climax to ‘Fallswater’, and ‘Red Kite’s nostalgic heightening flights of fancy.” - Uncut
 
"Their work is always extraordinary, slightly challenging, and always rewarding" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6music
 
'Really beautiful, I love it... Gorgeous.' – Stuart Maconie, BBC 6music
 
“by doing more with less, Everyone Was A Bird soars” - The Quietus
 
“An organic, naturalistic sound, a kind of galloping, robust folk music, a summoning of Romantic sentiment through modern orchestration” - The 405

Paco Versailles is a dynamic musical duo that seamlessly blends the rhythmic flair of Flamenco guitar with modern songwriting and dance production. The name "Paco Versailles" pays homage to the legendary Flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia, while also nodding to the opulent French suburb of Versailles.


Comprised of guitarist/producer Vahagni and songwriter/producer Ryan Merchant, Paco Versailles has quickly made a name for themselves as a unique musical voice and a captivating live act. As their first two albums Dancemenco and Young in California spread organically across the globe, they are set to release their 3rd studio album Olé Maca on September 13th.
