Greenness

Greenness is the project of French singer-songwriter Cess Frangi and English producer and composer Graham Pratt. Drawing inspiration from hybrid genres, such as trip-hop and folktronica, the music of Greenness aims to create an immersive and emotional experience through the use of various acoustic instruments merged with beats, sound effects, field recordings and evocative bilingual lyrics, in a bid to explore and deepen our connection with ourselves, each other and the environment. Based in Brighton, the pair has performed at some of the city's biggest events and venues, opened for a sold-out show in London's iconic Royal Albert Hall and toured across Europe, equally at ease with a full backing band on festival stages or in smaller settings with their more intimate, stripped-back duo set. Notable performances include supporting artists such as Marissa Nadler, The Besnard Lakes and Björk's virtuoso drummer and percussionist, Manu Delago. Following the successful independent launch of two thematic EPs - Bicephaly in 2016 and Cyclicity in 2018 - Greenness released their debut album Sunrooms on 20th May 2022, with airplay on BBC 6Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio. "Electro-acoustic duo Greenness from Brighton are a revelation, with Cess’ awesome voice superbly complemented by Graham’s distinctive guitar work." - The Morning Star
