GRAND PAVILION
GRAND PAVILION is a production duo that makes transformative electronic music combining layered samples and rhythms into a blend of organic and electronic instruments. With their buttery beats, hazy synth work and soaring vocals the pair are fast becoming a team of producers to keep an eye out for in 2016. Taking influence from bands such as Bonobo, Odesza and Maribou State the duo thrive on developing immersive electronic music with a storytelling element heightened by their self-designed live visual show.
Having put out a slew of remixes in conjunction with the ‘Bella Union’ label in the UK and Monotreme Records, Grand Pavilion have developed a thoroughly unique sound with detailed production. With their heart set on Europe Vocalist Tom Hunt and Stuart McNair relocated overseas mid-way through 2015 and set up in a cozy home studio in East London.
The duo put out their latest single ‘Anywhere’ in March and it is available now from iTunes and on Spotify, and in a few weeks time we can expect an accompanying B-side track called, ‘Roads Like Veins’.
