Gris-de-Lin releasing debut single

Look what we found. Flotsam and Jetsam from the shores of Bridport. Gris-de-Lin is a songwriter/multi-instrumentalist conjuring up twisted sounds on the Dorset coast. Her music has elements of post-rock, blues and alt-folk, peppered with twisted electronics.

This is her first solo project, she plays most of the instruments on the recordings herself (from acoustic/electric guitars and synths to saxophone & drums). We are happy to introduce you herewith to her debut single, "Your Ghost / Birthday", a limited edition 7" vinyl (2 songs analogue, 4 to download) .

Her debut album is in preparation for a release later in 2016. It was produced by Cee, who recently worked on the critically acclaimed album by Torres & with Kite Base, and also features PJHarvey/Anna Calvi collaborator Rob Ellis playing drums on several tracks. Recordings took place in a local nursery school, where guitar amps, synths & drums were surrounded by toy trains and puppets.

Gris-de-Lin is also currently playing in a band with Bronzerat artist Joe Gideon along with drummer Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman/Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds), with whom she’s just touring the UK in March.
