Greenland Is Melting / Jon Gaunt split ep.
Since 2007, Greenland is Melting have put their own spin on folk, bluegrass and punk; penning an original sound with straightforward, hometown lyrics. Armed with a banjo, acoustic guitar, standup bass, a suitcase bass drum, and a slew of other instruments in tow, the Greenland boys break the typecast we all know as the "Gainesville sound" and bring a breath of fresh, folk-induced air to the masses.
Karl, Shaun, and Will have always approached their music with a drive and direction that perpetuates real, honest experiences put into porch-driven sing-along's. This especially rang true with the Paper + Plastick debut, “Our Hearts are Gold, Our Grass is Blue,” recorded by Gainesville’s own Rob McGregor (Against Me, Whiskey & Co., Hot Water Music) in their swampy home of Gainesville, FL. Following the release, the band hit the road with extensive east coast touring and found an ever growing audience to woo with their earnest dedication and alluring three-part harmonies. The countless stories and experiences that the trio gained has paved the way for a strong, new year for the band.
The beginning of 2011 has already seen the release of their new EP, “Folk Songs from Florida: Volume One” and the “Greenland is Melting/Jon Gaunt Split 7”
