Griffin Robillard
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.
In 2021, following a broken-off engagement, Robillard began writing Big Pisces Energy, his debut album. Again and again references to astrology and water came into the songs, and Robillard understood his shitty-twenties years in the parallax view: as rivers, as puddles, as tsunamis and waves. His poetic voice flowing like liquor — or spit — Robillard brings you along to weep through the early Bushwick hours in“Hotmessexpress” and drain the summer for all it’s worth in “Hot Boy Bummer.” Vivid characters haunt his world, a lover to be sent away in “The Door” or a Southern girl he just can’t have in “Laws Of Longing.” But through it all, we get the joys of a death-destined rebound in “Bar Of Cherries” and learning, finally, to love your imperfect self in “Taurus Moon.”
Big Pisces Energy represents Robillard’s turn as a producer with right-hand man Grant Eppley (Spoon, Jonas Brothers, The National, Maggie Rogers), long-time collaborator Walker Lukens and contributions from Steve Vealey (Phoenix, Bleachers), Pierre Jamerson, Emmett Kai (Ethel Cain), and Dan Viafore (Olivia Rodrigo).
Big Pisces Energy is out March 10th, 2023.
