Following on from their debut EP ‘These Streets’, The Graphite Set return with ‘Grayson Perry’, the new single out on October 14.
To celebrate the release, The Graphite Set (aka Lily Buchanan) will be playing a headline show at The Lexington in London on the October 16. Recorded at Real World Studios, and produced by Ed Seed and Ali Staton, ‘Grayson Perry’ witnesses The Graphite Set trigger a more angular and driven sound. Lily’s distinctive voice is ever-present, as it strides across spiky guitars and walking bass lines. The release is backed by the track ‘Time’, which was recorded at House of Strange Studios and features Kathrine Blamire from Smoke Fairies on guitar.
Lily read Grayson Perry's autobiography 'Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Girl' as research for a portrait that she was going to paint of Perry and his motorbike. The book tells unpretentiously and directly of Perry's development of his artistic voice and his own self definition as a teenager and young adult. The narrative of Perry breaking free and setting out on the journey of his career moved and inspired her to write this song.
Listen to the track below.
