Once Upon a Time in Battersea is the debut album by South London-based solo artist and multi-instrumentalist Grr Ant (formerly of Baltimore at an Angle, Men in Action and Rest of the World). In early 2021, Grr Ant became inspired by the sounds of country and tried to find a way to infuse his love of 80s alternative into the genre.

The result is his first album under the moniker Grr Ant which is diverse in both instrumentation and influences, featuring everything from synths and drum machines to flutes and violins and taking cues from artists as varied as Kings of Leon and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

All songs written and recorded by Grant Gillingham between February 2020 and February 2024.

Mixed and mastered by Grant Gillingham.

Vocals recorded at Boom Squad Studios.
Engineered by Adam Drake.

Bass on Track 3 by Benedict Olie.

Thanks to my parents, my friends, Adam, Torin, Kurran, and Archie for believing in my music.
