Overlaying frequencies and expressions like camouflage, their deeply layered collaborative process begins with either artist; Ardizoni is often drawn to melody, Flanagan to harmonics. The power lies in how their ideas helix together, achieving a depth greater than the sum of its parts. For their first LP with new label home, Ghostly International, Green-House grows and refines their vivid instrumental songcraft with uncharted, genre-defying freedom and movement, a more active, percussive, and emotion-filled energy, marked by flowing bodies of sound and sweeping vistas. Hinterlands tunes into the beauty of the world with defiant, radical sincerity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince 2020, across a catalogue of acclaimed releases via the scene-creating Los Angeles imprint, Leaving Records, the duo has pursued a curiosity in environments, reaching for innate and faraway spaces by way of organic and synthetic instrumentation, high-definition sound design, and “idiosyncratic melodies crafted with the patient and methodical hand of a gardener,” writes Pitchfork. Green-House doesn’t fit neatly into any single category. Ardizoni and Flanagan aren’t aligned with New Age ideologies or spirituality, and the ambient tag feels increasingly limited given all that’s going on in their songs, which skew closer to the realms of IDM or even modern classical on their new album. What remains inherent is an open sense of wonder, “the idea of legitimizing certain emotions within music that often aren’t taken seriously in art, like happiness and joy,” says Ardizoni, whose eclectic personality shines through even without lyrics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ghostly International","offers":[{"title":"LP - Eco Mix","offer_id":56409324486987,"sku":"R5084-3218","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56409324519755,"sku":"R5084-5640","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":56409324552523,"sku":"R5084-1420","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Green-House-Hinterlands.jpg?v=1769610120"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_7a4bf899_thumbnail_4096_1be3945d-4ccd-4442-b29c-60554d699531.jpg?v=1726714703","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/green-house.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
