We have long been admirers of Grass House on MM, ever since they announced themselves early in 2010, with the wonderful Plough More Sky EP (containing brilliant lead track A Cockroach, still a regular on MM playlists to this day) and then followed it up with a consistent series of top-notch singles and EPs.

The release is the band’s third single, following Lazy Bones in late 2010 and, … Continue reading New Single From Grass House
