Green-House Partners with Ghostly for Upcoming Album Release
Mark your calendars! The Los Angeles-based duo, Green-House, is set to unveil their latest album, titled "Hinterlands," on March 20. Comprised of Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan, this creative pair has made a significant move by leaving their previous label, Leaving, to join forces with the renowned Ghostly. This new album follows their well-received project, "A Host for All Kinds of Life."
You can get a taste of their fresh sound by listening to their latest single, "Farewell, Little Island," which is inspired by an animated short film created by Sándor Reisenbüchler. This film poignantly illustrates a village that succumbs to the advances of modern technology.
In a recent press release, Ardizoni elaborates on the concept behind "Hinterlands," stating that the album seeks to validate emotions in music—specifically those that are often overlooked in the art world, such as happiness and joy. This approach invites listeners to reflect on the significance of these feelings and how they can be expressed through music.
Jazz Monroe, a London-based writer who specializes in music and culture, has also contributed to this discussion and has had his work featured in notable publications like The Guardian and The Independent.
This new direction for Green-House raises interesting questions about the role of emotion in artistic expression. Are we ready to embrace joyful themes in a world that often focuses on darker narratives? And how does the partnership with Ghostly influence their musical journey? We’d love to hear your thoughts—do you believe that joy can and should have a place in contemporary music? Share your opinions in the comments!
