Grasscut: Reggaaeton on Valium
Grasscut return with “The Door In The Wall,” a further heightening of their electro-pastoral psychedelia, which runs Krautrock up against the Brians (Wilson and Eno) and the non-conformist spirit of Robert Wyatt. Grasscut are Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair. Phillips is an award-winning film and television composer with over one hundred screen credits. O’Dair is a double bassist, keyboards player whom he met in Brighton. Already acclaimed by Tom Robinson as “making genuinely daring music that still remains an accessible and enjoyable listen,” Grasscut are set to release one of the oddest, most listenable and strangely uplifting albums of the year.
Remixes come from Bibio and PRDCTV. Signed to Warp and described by Marcus Eoin of Boards of Canada as “the antidote to the modern laptopia of pristine electronic music,” Bibio turns up the bucolia to 11, leaving you imagining Trumpton getting down to Reggaaeton on valium.
