Green-House: Hinterlands (eco-mix coloured vinyl) LP

As Green-House, musicians Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan engage human nature and the natural world through joyous, dynamic synthesis. Overlaying frequencies and expressions like camouflage, their deeply layered collaborative process begins with either artist; Ardizoni is often drawn to melody, Flanagan to harmonics. The power lies in how their ideas helix together, achieving a depth greater than the sum of its parts. For their first LP with new label home, Ghostly International, Green-House grows and refines their vivid instrumental songcraft with uncharted, genre-defying freedom and movement, a more active, percussive, and emotion-filled energy, marked by flowing bodies of sound and sweeping vistas. "Hinterlands" tunes into the beauty of the world with defiant, radical sincerity. Ardizoni and Flanagan aren't aligned with new age ideologies or spirituality, and the ambient tag feels increasingly limited given all that's going on in their songs, which skew closer to the realms of IDM or even modern classical on their new album.
