Description
'Things Are Moving All Around Me' is the first physical and highly anticipated second album from rising British songwriter Henry Grace. Co-produced with Blaine Harrison of Mystery Jets, the album is a bold and moving leap forward, shaped by the wide-open spaces of Grace's adopted California and the intimate venues of his hometown of London.
Moving to California at 21, Grace played his first shows in small coffee houses and clubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. There he was introduced to the music of artists like Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne who helped shape his early writing and the songs that would later appear on his 2022 debut album 'Alive In America'. Since returning home to London, his music has been championed by the likes of Clash, Under The Radar, Wonderland, Songwriting Magazine, Americana UK, Absolute Radio, BBC Introducing and Mahogany.
'Things Are Moving All Around Me' has been an album years in the making. Grace and Harrison first met at a songwriting retreat organised by Chris Difford at Pennard House in Somerset in 2022. Stealing away to a quiet church across the road, they wrote their first song together and, upon returning to London, started working on a new batch of songs Grace had been writing and soon had the early makings of a new album.
Unlike the stark and sparse arrangements from 'Alive In America', early demos hinted at a new sound that was more transatlantic and, most noticeably, band-driven with Grace joined by Harrsion on keys and backing vocals alongside Brian Love on guitar, Tom Holder from The Heavy Heavy on bass and Toby Evangelou on drums. New songs and arrangements were road tested in front of audiences at sold-out headline shows including The Lexington, Omeara and The Jazz Cafe in London, alongside a headline set at The Great Escape Festival and on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury. In October 2024, as momentum started to build, the band decamped to Middle Farm Studios in Devon to record the album.
