Grasscut are a musical group featuring composer/producer Andrew Phillips and musician/writer Marcus O'Dair. Phillips writes and produces all Grasscut music; he also sings and plays various instruments including guitar and keyboards. O'Dair manages the act and contributes keyboards and double bass. They are based in Brighton, England. HistoryGrasscut have released two albums on Ninja Tune, 1 inch: 1/2 Mile (2010)[1] and Unearth (2012).[2] Their third album, Everyone Was a Bird, was released by Lo Recordings in 2015. Contributors to Grasscut's albums include Robert Wyatt, John Surman, Adrian Crowley, Gazelle Twin, Seb Rochford, Oddfellows Casino, and Elisabeth Nygård. Grasscut have remixed artists including Bonobo, Coldcut and Jaga Jazzist; in turn, they have been remixed by Bibio and Nathan Fake. 1 Inch: ½ MileFollowing the release of 1 Inch: ½ Mile, Clash magazine described Grasscut as "genuinely daring electronica artists",[3] with the album appearing as Mojo magazine’s electronica album of the month, one of iDJ’s debut albums of the year and one of the top ten pop albums of the year according to the Sunday Telegraph. Speaking to the Quietus website, Tom Robinson of BBC 6 Music named it one of his top 13 albums of all time[4] UnearthAccording to Andy Gill of The Independent, Grasscut's second album, Unearth, should have been on the Mercury list.[5] Both records won 5-star reviews from the Telegraph; support has also come from the Sunday Times, Word, Uncut, Time Out, Q and Clash. They have had airplay from BBC Radio 1, 2, 3, 5Live and 6Music, and have played sessions on 6Music and XFM. Everyone Was a BirdIn May 2015 Grasscut released their third studio album titled Everyone Was a Bird.[6] The album has been described by Clash as "an engrossing, artful work",[7] and by The Quietus as "that rare slab of post-rock that uses the genre's textures and general ethos of exploration to create new sounds instead of rehashing old ones".[8] The album features guest vocals from Adrian Crowley and Seamus Fogarty and strings by Emma Smith and Vince Sipprell. The liner notes were written by acclaimed landscape writer Robert Macfarlane and were premiered on the website Caught by the River in April 2015.[9] Everyone Was a Bird - RemixedIn March 2016, online magazine The Quietus announced Grasscut's third studio album was to be released as a remix album.[10] The album will include remixes from artists including Mira Calix, John Metcalfe, Leo Abrahams and Penguin Cafe, and will be released on Lo Recordings in the UK and Sounds et al in the US. Live showSince opening the main stage at the Big Chill festival in 2009,[11] Grasscut have performed at Cecil Sharp House, Union Chapel, the ICA,[12] Koko and Tate Britain,[13] as well as in France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Czech Republic, Portugal, Poland and Slovakia. They have shared stages with the likes of Kronos Quartet, Silver Apples, Caribou, Fink and Bonobo. Although they performed early shows as a duo, Grasscut have usually been joined onstage by drummer Aram Zarikian (Andreya Triana) and string player Emma Smith (Geese, Elysian Quartet, Jon Hopkins, James Yorkston, Imogen Heap, Hot Chip). They are also known for their use of visuals, originally developed with As Described (Portishead, Cinematic Orchestra). Link to landscapeGrasscut are known for their landscape-based concepts, usually emerging in collaboration with Pedr Browne (also responsible for the Grasscut artwork). 1 Inch: ½ Mile came with a map detailing a walk through the ‘lost’ village of Balsdean, just outside Brighton. An audio clue, contained within a downloadable track, provided details of the location of a hidden artefact: a unique recording on a cassette.[14] This idea was extended on Grasscut’s second album, Unearth.[15] Each track was reimagined by Phillips, and these ‘shadow’ versions – again on cassette – were secreted, each with a Walkman, in specific locations around England and Wales. Use in mediaGrasscut's music has been used in the dramas Waterloo Road and Continuum; by BBC Sport and Channel 4; and in advertising campaigns by Boots, Mazda and Kmart.
