The first thing you hear is a note.

It might be a plucked piano string or some celestial harp, it’s impossible to tell, but it is echoing to infinity, like a sonar signal bouncing off the cosmos, creating an irregular percussive rhythm as it moves through space.

Otherness his third record with Flying Nun Records, follows on from 2014’s critically acclaimed ‘Infinite Life!’ (nominated for both NZ Music Award and the 2015 Taite Prize) and over a 15 year music career, Grayson has built himself a dedicated fan base and admiration from music critics across New Zealand and internationally for not just his solo work but his band So So Modern and his more recent film and TV work.

In the first moments of Otherness, Grayson Gilmour’s wonderfully rich new album, he has given an object lesson in how intimately word and sound can be entwined. These aren’t just a few cool samples splashed around some nice songs. This is a place where song and sound are inseparable. And that intricate weave of tone and imagery continues through 43 minutes of music.

Featuring the wondrous artwork of Henrietta Harris, this drool-worthy special edition LP comes not only on milky-clear vinyl, but includes an exclusive layer of artwork, printed on a vellum sleeve to compliment the cover. Plus lyric zine and full digital download with bonus instrumentals and remixes. Limited to 100 copies -- a must for fans of Grayson and Henrietta Harris alike!
