Grigoré unlocks pair of ‘Summer 2022 Mixtape’ IDs with This Never Happened EP, ‘It’s All Fiction’

Exactly two years ago, Grigoré‘s sonic narrative began with Illusion, which not only marked his first-ever time on This Never Happened, but also the official musical debut of the project at large. And after the Illusion sequel——a four-part EP titled Nautilus—landed in November 2021, that annual pattern of late fall projects on Lane 8‘s imprint is lending itself to a third consecutive calendar. The Russian-born talent had already went through This Never Happened’s release doors once this year—a rework of Le Youth‘s fan-favorite Reminders cut, “If Only”—but he’s back to carry out a November-hosted EP trinity with It’s All Fiction.

While It’s All Fiction may mark Grigoré’s first group of This Never Happened originals since Nautilus, it marks his fourth extended offering in 2022 alone, following his Deepest Thoughts EP, Electric Drama, and Modern Tranz Opera. Preceded by “Fiction (Break Bad)” with Lewny, It’s All Fiction introduces a subdued undertaking of its maiden single while also unlocking a pair of desired IDs from Lane 8’s “Summer 2022 Mixtape“—”Metaphysical Transition” and “Hyperreal”—as well as another fresh EP cut, “&101Reasons.” And throughout each of It’s All Fictions‘ five characteristic sides, Grigoré continues to flesh out his sinister, forward-thinking recipe to his techno-angled approach to melodic-house. Stream all five tracks from It’s All Fiction below.
