Grasscut
1 Inch / 陆 Mile
Ninja Tune
Multi-layered, engaging, robotic-electro combined with rustic rhythms and wired visions are just a handful of adjectives to describe Grasscut鈥檚 debut. In the spirit of Caribou, the music engages listeners, and encourages you to hear the intensity of the sound. It builds and grows with each track, also highlighting a stronghold for this type of music. It鈥檚 not pure electro or pop, but rather a tableau of genres.
Grasscut is Andrew Phillips and Marcus O鈥橠air. Phillips is an award-winning film and television composer with over 100 credits to his name, while O鈥橠air is a classically trained double bassist. Grasscut is without a doubt an art-band. But, that doesn鈥檛 mean that they鈥檙e too experimental, on the contrary, the music is at the heart of their sound.
Phillips and O鈥橠air are completely genuine in their creation; it鈥檚 an album with reason and purpose, not random and searching for the mass-market. It鈥檚 an acquired taste, either you will love it or hate it. From this end, this music is ambient, sensitive and emotive. If you鈥檙e looking for a departure from commonality, it鈥檚 the record for you.
