Listen to Grecco Romank's New Single 'Chainlinks' ft. Special Guests Galore
Like a beat-fuelled banquet for your earholes, the new single from Tāmaki Makaurau's techno-industrial titans Grecco Romank boasts the biggest and brightest lineup of local guest stars this side of 'Sailing Away'. Kiwis working hand in hand on 'Chainlinks' include Jazmine Mary, James Milne (Lawrence Arabia, Half Hexagon), Anthonie Tonnon, Liam Clune (Night Lunch, HŌHĀ, Crime Hospital), David Feauai-Afaese (LEAO), Ex-Partner, Yolanda Fagan (Half Hexagon, The Echo Ohs, Na Noise), Paul Blanchard (Vihil, Roseworm, Vow Cave, Ave Teth) and Lucy Suttor (Dick Move) — all chiming in with vocal contributions — plus guitar from Scott Satherley (Demons Of Noon), and Grecco Romank core member Billie Fee's sister Morgan and mother Philippa rounding out the Aotearoa gothic horror mega-choir.
Peering into "the shadowed corners of national identity" and overblown on a such an ambitious scale Jim Steinman would be proud, 'Chainlinks' is the latest tune revealed from Grecco Romank's new album and book Arts Colony — featuring thirty seven artists from throughout Aotearoa — bursting into reality this week. Attendance is mandatory for Saturday's launch party at Double Whammy, preorder the book HERE (100 copies only) and see you there...
"Grecco were frighteningly ambitious and I wasn't sure I'd get out of that recording session unscathed. It's their world, we're just pissing in it." - Jazmine Mary
"I especially enjoyed handing over control of my voice to Billie. I’ll do anything for Grecco Romank.I was surprised by the end result. It’s epic. A dank one." - Yolanda Fagan
"I went around to Grecco’s house thinking Billie was going to help me with my album cover and ended up being shoved onto the mic to sing a weird, dystopian national anthem alongside all of these disembodied voices. Thank you Grecco." - Ex-Partner
