Hari Mint

GRUMBY might be an act new to some listeners, but the Brooklyn-based duo has been churning out ingenious works for over two years now, as they team up with fellow vocalist Häri Mint on new track “Refuse”.

The distinct timbre of Mint’s voice on the track is what’s instantly noticeable on it, and, especially alongside the crafty, polished production put forth, it works well. The instrumental is one that’s present, too, but far from overwhelming, as thick, twinkling percussive melodies bolster the vocal efforts that we hear. “Refuse”, by all accounts, is a success, and, as the first work from their debut Changes EP, we’re entirely excited to hear more. - Hillydilly

New York City has a big up and comer on their hands in the form of GRUMBY. The group, a part of the artist collective halfbad, broke out with the moody “MT. FUJI” two years ago, and are now prepping for their debut EP release. Out September 15th, Changes includes an impressive selection of their original atmospheric tracks, including the EP’s lead single, “Refuse.”

The most impressive piece of “Refuse” is the minimal, maturely-selected compositional pieces and how they are pieced and layered together around Hari Mint‘s soulful vocals. Though electronically produced, “Refuse” gives off the air of an R&B ballad with a symphonic backing.

You know those songs that just start and you instantly think “YES to these vibes”? That’s what NY collective Grumby deliver on this track Refuse. Teaming up with Häri Mint – such a glorious name to match that superb voice – its a low-key alt-R&B jam that shows off their aptitude for chilled production and ridiculous amounts of heart. Keep this lot pegged for sure. - Press Play Ok
