Green Grove is the musical project of Durham Fenwick, a musician and songwriter currently based in Auckland. Machine Music is an album that requires deep listening, creating lush electronic worlds inspired by Lounge and Library Music.

Green Grove's debut album 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. As you progress through the record you'll hear Fenwick drawing influence from groups like Broadcast, Stereolab, Julee Cruise and Patrick Cowley.

In the lead up Machine Music's release both singles (Silently and The Sleuth) have been playlisted throughout New Zealand's Student Radio Stations, and have placed on 95bFM's Top 10. Green Grove tracks have featured prominently on Under The Radar, on RNZ's Lately programme and even given a cheeky shout out in the NZ Herald.

To celebrate the release of Machine Music Green Grove will perform shows throughout the North Island. Tonight in Auckland they'll headline The Wine Cellar, with support from neo soul outfit Skilaa and the psychedelic DIY instrumental producer Kraus. In Wellington Green Gove will play the Pyramid Club on 5 October with support from electronic producer Cave Circles.
