Released January 2026, the album was co-produced with Blaine Harrison of Mystery Jets and recorded at Middle Farm Studios in Devon.

Earning comparisons to The War On Drugs and Nick Drake, Things Are Moving All Around Me was recorded mostly live with contributions from Harrison and long-term collaborators Brian Love, Toby Evangelou, Thomas Holder and Soren Bryce.

After sending out demos, Grace was invited to play The Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury. Roisin O’Connor of The Independent chose him as her spotlight artist of the week after hearing the single “Say Something Mean” while Danielle Perry named him her self-released artist of the month on Absolute Radio after seeing him at The Great Escape Festival.

Things Are Moving All Around Me is a wholly transatlantic record. Moving to California at 21, Grace spent five years playing open mics and small clubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco while studying. His time in California shaped the songs that would appear on his 2022 debut album Alive In America.

Sonically stark, Alive In America documented Grace’s past struggles with depression while presenting the great wide open as a degraded landscape with the album cover taken from Pamela Littky’s series Gateway to Death Valley.
