Warm sounds laid down in Iceland, Greensky Bluegrass featuring Holly Bowling release ‘Born Again’ from their new E.P. ‘The Iceland Sessions’. Recorded at the remote Flóki Studios in northern Iceland, the Michigan based band found magic in the unusual setting.
“We invited some of our favorite friends and musicians to play with us, including Holly Bowling, and we set out to make memories in the twilight sun with a bunch of fans who joined us from all over the world, We embraced the disorienting inspiration and played late into the night as the sun never left us, all the while still developing lyrics and figuring out harmonies and arrangements. We swam in the cold water. We saw more sheep than people for days. We listened to the birds sing through the night while we charged through each song. A recording project that felt like a whirlwind at times turned into something calm and peaceful that felt more creative and raw than anything we’ve done before. Fully aware that we could continue to work on this later, we decided to commit to what we created in Iceland and have the recording be truly a moment in time.” recalls mandolin player Paul Hoffman.
‘The Iceland Sessions’ E.P. is available now from Thirty Tigers, the band plans to tour extensively in summer of 2024.
