Leaving US レコード& CD

Review: Green-House is the handiwork of Olive Ardizoni, who finds a sympathetic ear in Leaving Records for her delicate, pastoral strains of ambient reflection. Rather than being static, these are charmingly alive pieces that quiver with sensitivity and plaintive melodies that suggest some inspiration from the iconic Mort Garson record composed for houseplants. If you enjoyed that wobbly ride through sweet-natured synth refrains, you'll love this album too as it interweaves warm tones around bucolic field recordings. This comes highly recommended - a record that leaves you feeling nourished after listening.

Review: Non-binary Los Angeles-based artist Olive Ardizoni aka Green-House serves up gorgeously pure and innocent sounds on this debut ambient album. It is filled with awe and wonder that will clean your brain and sooth your soul. It was written during the pandemic and continues plenty of whimsical melodies, distant bird sounds and a comforting lo-fi hiss. Ardizoni says of the record, "I'm trying to hit that part of the brain that's affected by the emotional state that you're in when you perceive something as cute." Mission accomplished.
