ABOUT
A New York adman with a Midwestern liver, Griffin Robillard writes biographies of his generation. From Lower East Side bars to the wide plains of Texas, Robillard’s songs create an infinite, half-blurred night full of ex-lovers, regret and hard-won catharsis, all supported by his endless appetite for 80s music and polished production.
There’s a playfulness to Robillard that’s been long absent in contemporary rock, and his dance-pop sensibilities and ironic lyrics invite you in on the fun. He’s a Warren Zevon for the wellness generation, with the hype-drive of The 1975 and the vulnerability of Julia Jacklin.
PRESS"There is no nervous rush in his music, instead there's a relaxed coolness. There are melodic tendencies that veer straight towards John Denver's heart, but lyrical themes that conjure the cool darkness of Nick Cave”

“Everything from a slow hip hop beat, to a symphony of synths and Robillard’s deep, slightly-creepy-but-inviting Bryan Ferry-ish voice.”
