country girl:
Raised in New York and now based in Brooklyn, country girl was home-schooled as a teen to study classical composition at Juilliard, sequestered away from contemporary music and influenced instead by the lush textures of composers like Maurice Ravel and Steve Reich. country girl synthesizes his classical upbringing with a studied appreciation for modern pop-craft to create songs that feels like the very essence of sticky New York summer, an exploration of those little moments when your heart bursts out of your chest, when you have to pour a whole bottle of water on your head and you don’t even feel cold when it hits.
Grant Pavol:
Emerging from the Philadelphia underground scene, Grant Pavol is a lifelong songwriter. Since his early teen years, Pavol has been crafting direct yet erudite folk and country, with hypnogogic
and psychedelic production. Known for his collaborations with fellow Philadelphia multi-hyphenate Shamir, Pavol’s work spans genres and styles, linked by his singular lyrical voice and sneakily catchy melodic phrasing.
