- Recorded "over one long hazy week" in San Francisco, the Brooklyn trio and the LA-based producer's full-length sees release on Melodic this May.
A collaborative full-length from Grenier and Archie Pelago is slated for release this May.
The saxophone-cello-and-electronics trio first came to the LA-based Grenier's attention in 2011 by way of Distal, the Atlanta bass producer, who'd tapped them for a remix of his track "Amphibian." Their musical collaboration began almost immediately, and in 2012, Archie Pelago flew from their native Brooklyn to Grenier's former home base of San Francisco, where they set up shop in the basement of an art gallery for "one long hazy week" of writing and tracking. Grenier then took the "sketches and skeletons of Archie's work" and helped stitch it together into the final cuts that make up Grenier Meets Archie Pelago. The long-simmering end result, set for release through Melodic, is described in the press release as quintessentially West Coast, imbued with California's "warmth in its contrastive blend of glotta beats and soft-edged instrumental strains."
