Henry Green’s “Stay Here” is a masterful study of isolation and fragility
Bristol-based producer Henry Green turns a corner on his latest offering “Stay Here” from the upcoming album out via Akira Records.
Armed with two acclaimed EPs and a cult following, 22-year-old Green is the sort of quiet and reserved artist you would expect to be making hauntingly beautiful electronica in the style of contemporaries James Blake, SOHN, and Deptford Goth.
His new track “Stay Here” was conceived on the banks of Berlin’s Köpenicker Chaussee at an old Cold War nuclear facility/1950s radio broadcast site. The song is a reflection of the environment it was conceived within, eerie and reverberated with a sound that fills grand spaces but is also at home in quiet corners.

In Henry’s own words: "'Stay Here’ was created out of frustration from a loss of direction. I wanted to create a feeling of isolation and fragility in the production but gently move in to a warmer, more uplifting space as the track developed. The foundations of the song were built alone in Bristol, but the instrumentation was built up in Berlin with producer Nico Rebscher. It was really special to share such a delicate track with Nico and to see it evolve and gain confidence."
