NEW 'UNEARTH' CLUES:


::  'STONE LIONS'  ::

Video clue to the location of a walkman and unique cassette, containing both the album track 'Stone Lions' and its 'shadow' version.

"In a North London Cemetery, find the stone lion, and let James Mason pass on some pearls of wisdom..."

 

::  'CUT GRASS'  ::

Video clue to the location of a walkman and unique cassette, containing both the album track 'Cut Grass' and its 'shadow' version.

"Spurn Point, near Hull, inspired Vaughan Williams to compose a piece about it; Philip Larkin also frequented this desolate and beautiful place, and the words from his poem Cut Grass form the lyrics to the Grasscut song. 


A unique shadow version of these tracks, recorded on cassettes, have been hidden in a cemetery in North London and near Spurn Point, Hull; for exact locations, see map and videos at grasscutmusic.com. There is a shadow version of every track on Unearth; locations are being unveiled, one by one, in the build-up to the release of the album on July 16th. Any fan who posts a photo of themselves listening to a shadow track in situ will receive a signed CD copy of the shadow version of Unearth. But each Walkman also features a letter of the alphabet: one-tenth of a codeword. The first person to visit all ten locations, and to contact us with this word, will be entitled to a private Grasscut performance in their own home.

Grasscut return with the follow-up to their 2010 critically acclaimed debut album '1 Inch: 1/2 Mile' (Electronica Album of the Month in Mojo and in The Sunday Telegraph’s Top 10 Pop CDs of 2010). If that album featured a mix of songcraft and electronica, follow-up 'Unearth' tips the balance towards songs. It’s a more vocal record and both the legendary Robert Wyatt and Gazelle Twin contribute – alongside main vocals from Grasscut composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Phillips. Grasscut’s Marcus O’Dair features on double bass; Seb Rochford of Polar Bear guests on drums.
