She Keeps Bees - Is What It Is

Release Date : 23rd February 2015

Grasscut, the duo of Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair, return in February with a new single, Curlews/September Night’s Sky – the first single from the band’s forthcoming third album, Everyone Was A Bird, to be released by Lo Recordings in May 2015. 

Whilst first performed in collaboration with the Kronos Quartet to over 4,000 people in a warehouse in Poland, Curlews origins lie much closer to home. It’s meditative piano intro, soaring strings and sense of open skies and distant horizons inspired by the British coastline. “I’d started it on the train from Birmingham to Wales,” say Phillips, “and as I reworked it later for the album the music, especially the piano and string rhythms, kept pulling me back back to the Mawddach Estuary. I kept stripping layers and layers away, till eventually the melody, mood, and words were exposed – like they'd always been there.”

“The poet Harriet Tarlo cautions against the lazy use of ornithological metaphors for human emotion, but watching the curlews on the estuary, I really thought: this is me, digging around in the mud till I find it. I hope that's not lazy.”

That sense of place and belonging resonates throughout much of Grasscut’s work, and the forthcoming album features liner notes from the renowned landscape writer Robert Macfarlane. 

Alongside Curlews comes September's Night Sky, a story of a spring equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. Scored by fragmented keyboards, guitars and sweeping strings it brings to mind the sense of both majesty and fragility that a starry night can inspire.

"„It took them seven years to complete their new album, but as „From Shores Of Sleep“  turned out as such a revelation of beauty, the waiting was well worth. With a cast of fine musicians, Sean Ogilvie and Micah Rabwin have crafted out an album full of timeless music, appreciative and melancholic, saturated with aery folk-pop melodies and of infinite elegance…..an invitation for a journey through a musical novel in ten chapters, on the edge between dream and reality, touched by glistening moments of psychedelia." - Rolling Stone (FR)

Clogs are a mostly instrumental project led by Bryce Dessner and Australia's Padma Newsome, both men familiar from their membership in the acclaimed rock band, The National. But don't call Clogs a side project. Their existence predates The National, and Clogs have released five widely acclaimed albums -- a highly melodic debut THOM'S NIGHT OUT (2001), then the experimental polyphonies of LULLABY FOR SUE (2003), the minimalist explorations of STICK MUSIC (2004), the post-classical beauty of LANTERN (2006) and finally THE CREATURES IN THE GARDEN OF LADY WALTON (2010), a progressive song-cycle featuring performances by Sufjan Stevens, Matt Berninger of The National &amp; Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond.
