Grovesnor is the alter ego and musical vehicle of one Rob Smoughton, formerly the drummer for <a href="spotify:artist:37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5">Hot Chip</a> and a member of the Naciente Quartet. His own work is overtly inspired -- typically to the point of pastiche -- by the much-maligned soft pop, yacht rock and blue-eyed soul of the 1980s, though a decidedly modern edge to Smoughton's sharp electro-pop production, combined with his heartfelt, sensitive crooning, place it not terribly far away from the more contemporary (and well-respected) likes of <a href="spotify:artist:39x9e2QDpAxK8xTuJDwRqR">Junior Boys</a> or, for instance, <a href="spotify:artist:37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5">Hot Chip</a>. After the limited-release CD-R Metrosexual, issued in 2005 through the London-based art collective Utrophia, of which Smoughton is a central member, Grovesnor first attracted wider attention when <a href="spotify:artist:37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5">Hot Chip</a> used his single "Nitemoves" to kick off their 2007 installment in the DJ-Kicks mix series. <a href="spotify:artist:37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5">Hot Chip'</a>s <a href="spotify:artist:380fnmlGnkyueBMqGWx2k5">Joe Goddard</a> released "Drive Your Car" as a single on his own <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Greco-Roman%22">Greco-Roman</a> imprint in 2008, and Grovesnor's official full-length debut, Soft Return, appeared on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Lo+Recordings%22">Lo Recordings</a> in spring 2010. ~ K.
