Grosvenor: Recording ROAMER was a bit of a lengthy process, partly due to the pandemic.
Apt613: Take us through the writing and recording process for this album. I think those late night scenes depict the feeling of the album quite well. Like all of our releases, it makes use of one of my father’s photo slides from the late ’60s / early ’70s for the art. Although it’s not really a concept album, there is a loose narrative running through the songs that, no surprise given the album title, is linked to searching, discovering and allowing oneself to get lost figuratively and literally, then returning when the time is right to familiar grounds and people. Grosvenor: ROAMER is informed in large part by dreams, rumination and the power of memories and our own histories. Apartment613: How would you describe ROAMER?
To celebrate their newest release, Apartment613 spoke with Andrew Grosvenor of GREATHUNTER about ROAMER, the power of memories, and the band’s dream collab. Five years later, now evolved into a five-person band with even richer orchestral movements and brighter sounds, GREATHUNTER is back! Their second album ROAMERwhich officially released on June 10th. After experimenting with the idea and putting some of Andrew’s old songs into that framework, GREATHUNTER’s debut album PREY was born. In 2017 Andrew Grosvenor approached Leigh Newton with a new idea a dream-pop meets synth-wave meets chamber music project.
