New video and single release from FLIP GRATER – THE QUIT

Sometime in 2011, somewhere in Paris, in a dirty, cheap hotel, Kiwi indie-folk songwriter Flip Grater had something of an epiphany. Why not move to Paris? What was stopping her? She’d always dreamed of doing so, she was broke, yes, but why not be broke in a city where being broke was part of a long-standing romantic ex-pat tradition? Sitting on that filthy hotel bed on a faded flowery duvet cover Flip wrote a song about the danger of comfort zones and the need for change and risk. The song was called The Quit.

Less than a year later, in early 2012 Flip Grater ‘quit’ her life in New Zealand and moved to Paris. It was there, in an ancient studio in Pigalle that she and a band of French musicians recorded the 12 brand new tracks that makes up Flip’s fourth studio album. The Quit is, appropriately, the first single from that album.

The accompanying video features excerpts from the ‘album - making of’ documentary shot by French filmmaker and sailor Sebastien Grounauer of Film The Music. It was shot during the recording sessions at Studio Pigalle in September 2012.
