Green-House

Everything is political, even nature. That spark leads us into a wide-ranging conversation with Green-House—Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan—whose new album Hinterlands on Ghostly International proves that quiet, spacious music can still carry teeth. We trace the project’s beginnings in LA: Olive escaping a soulless service job by walking Griffith Park, Michael offering early tech scaffolding, and the two slowly dissolving roles until the songs breathed on their own. Think Japanese environmental music and library records as wayfinders; sampled and real guitars treated like synths; textures that breathe, We dig into labels. “Ambient” doesn’t fit sonically, but its non-hierarchical ethos does. “New Age” is another story: we talk wellness capitalism, spiritual packaging, and the lazy use of eastern signifiers, especially glaring in LA where cultish histories still hum under the surface. From there, we examine the streaming economy that rewards backgroundability, how algorithms sell artists their own data back, and why Green-House resist being flattened into spa-core.
