Green Grove is the musical project of Durham Fenwick, a musician and songwriter currently based in Auckland.
Green Grove's music is for deep listening, creating lush electronic worlds inspired by Lounge and Library Music. Durham has wholeheartedly immersed himself into Auckland's independent music scene, initially as the guitarist of New Gum Sarn, and then swiftly in to groups such as Guardian Singles, Bozo, PG/VG and as a live sound engineer at Whammy Bar.
Silently is the first single to be released from Green Grove's debut album Machine Music (out on September 27 via Sunreturn).
Green Grove discussed Silently In a recent interview with Under The Radar - "I’m always trying to touch on surreal feelings with Green Grove sonically, in Silently I was inspired by easy listening/library style recordings- stuff that feels and sounds bittersweet or over the top. I'm definitely inspired by artists like Broadcast, Julee Cruise, Stereolab and 70’s synth recordings. I work late nights and often walk home in the early hours of the morning. This song is somewhat inspired by that visually."
Machine Music was primarily written and recorded by Fenwick, along with help from his live band, synth / sax player JY Lee (Yoko-Zuna), synthesist Madison Eve (Peach Milk), bassist Paul Brown (Trust Punks, Horror In Clay), and drummer Mason Fairey (The Naenae Express, Oscar Dowling). The final mixes for Machine Music were then handed over to audio engineer Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins,Paquin) for the finishing touches.
