GRACE HAYHURST
Classically trained multi-instrumentalist lets rip on her complex debut.
A little bit prog metal, a little bit classical, but all Grace Hayhurst.
PRESS/KEVIN ASHBURN
GRACE HAYHURST’S DEBUT album, The World Is Dying, is a time capsule: part personal musical history, part snapshot of one woman’s experience of a world refusing to live in harmony. Setting such existential topics to music is a monumental task, but few can call on a background as fittingly broad as Hayhurst. Classically trained in piano and French horn, she grew up playing in orchestras around Europe, taught herself guitar after discovering Opeth and Yes, and worked in a studio alongside the likes of Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C.
