It was conceived as Grandaddy maestro Jason Lytle was driving through the Nevada desert, and Patti Page’s 'Tennessee Waltz' came across the classic country station on the radio. He was immediately intrigued by the possibilities of what it might sound like to keep the slow sway and sweet, simple lyrics of the bluegrass waltz while adding layers of dense synthesizers and the electronics of new wave. It incorporates the lo-fi lushness and sometimes-psychedelic orchestration Grandaddy is known for with Lytle’s first foray into true country. Seven of its 13 songs are waltzes, and as Lytle notes,“there’s an inordinate amount of pedal steel.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrandaddy formed in 1992, members include Jason Lytle, Aaron Burtch, Jim Fairchild, Tim Dryden, and the late Kevin Garcia, who passed away in 2017.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"71\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol width=\"71\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"71\" height=\"20\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Dangerbird Records","offers":[{"title":"Green LP","offer_id":50411303797067,"sku":"2164503","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50411302945099,"sku":"2164502","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50411301110091,"sku":"2164501","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Blu_Wav_b4047a8d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726655871"},{"product_id":"sumday-the-cassette-demos-45wybr","title":"Sumday: The Cassette Demos","description":"\u003cp\u003eComplete 4-track demo version of \u003ci\u003eSumday\u003c\/i\u003e recorded by Jason Lytle.

You have been missed, as the incredible, and incredibly packed, show at Oslo last year proved. After Grandaddy broke up in 2006, the band's frontman 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 is a perfect addition to the band's celebrated, critically­ acclaimed catalogue, that includes their breakthrough sophomore album, \u003ci\u003eSophtware Slump\u003c\/i\u003e, and their debut, \u003ci\u003eUnder the Western Freeway\u003c\/i\u003e. It's a symphonic swirl of lo­fi sonics and mile­high harmonies, found sounds and electronics­gone­awry 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. When it came time to release the record, Grandaddy found an ally in artist, producer, and label owned Danger Mouse who notes, \"Grandaddy's music has had a big influence on me and the new album almost sounds like it could fit between \u003ci\u003eSophtware Slump\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSumday\u003c\/i\u003e.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Standard Brown Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Rough Trade UK Exclusive Translucent Blue Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve with Download, 2000 copies worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"30th Century Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50430115086667,"sku":"1003826","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/60e497b0-6808-486c-b04b-010ad9b63aed_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726844100"},{"product_id":"the-sophtware-slump-on-a-wooden-piano","title":"The Sophtware Slump .....
