Grasscut

grasscut's debut album is a journey from the Sussex South Downs of 'High Down', through the collapsing Nintendo Cathedral of 'Muppet', to the transcendence of 'In Her Pride'. Weaving in between the lead vocal are voices from the past and the present, snatched from mobile phones & gramophones - a 1920s tenor, gossiping mums, a Victorian singing poet, a woman reminiscing about post-war rationing...
