LISTEN TO FIRST GRANDADDY ALBUM IN TEN YEARS NOW VIA NPR FIRST LISTEN!
New Album Last Place Out March 3rd on 30th Century Records / Columbia
"While revivals arrive frequently, it's more rare for a band to make a comeback album like Last Place
that stands up alongside its best work. Now that Grandaddy is back,
it's as good a time as any to rediscover what made this band's music so
special in the first place." - NPR Music
Today is the day: you can now hear the brilliant new Grandaddy album, Last Place, in its entirety via NPR First Listen. Last Place, which will be released via 30th Century Records / Columbia on March 3rd, 2017, is the band's first new material since 2006.
On release day, Grandaddy will be playing a very special live streamed show for WXPN's Free At Noon series. The set will be broadcast live on Friday, March 3rd at noon EST on acclaimed radio station WXPN in Philadelphia, as well as via their audio stream at http://xpn.org/music-artist/listen-live. The event will also be webcast via WXPN and Vuhaus https://www.vuhaus.com. This webcast will be available worldwide.
Grandaddy
will also be playing just one show at this year's SXSW in celebration of
the new album - taking place March 17th at Stubb's in Austin, TX.
After Grandaddy broke up in 2006, Jason Lytle
relocated to Montana, where he happily made two solo albums, and
reconnected with the natural world around him. Eventually, though, life
uprooted him again, taking him to Portland, Oregon until he eventually
returned to his former home of Modesto, California. The return to
California was practical (he needed to be near his bandmates) but also
appropriate: he had started writing songs that he felt would be fitting
for another Grandaddy album. The result, Last Place,
is a perfect addition to the band's celebrated, critically-acclaimed
catalogue, that includes their breakthrough sophomore album, Sophtware Slump, and their debut, Under the Western Freeway.
It's a symphonic swirl of lo-fi sonics and mile-high harmonies, found
sounds and electronics-gone-awry mingling with perfect, power pop guitar
tones. Lytle's voice sounds as warm and intimate as ever, giving graceful levity to the doomsday narratives that have dominated the Grandaddy output.
Grandaddy also begin playing their first shows in support of Last Place
next week, starting with a
hometown show at San Francisco's Bimbo's 365 Club, and a sold out show
at New York City's Le Poisson Rouge.
