Grandaddy

indie rock’s not felt this wonky, weird or downright bizarre and fun since the last granddaddy release 10 years ago – lytle and co still have their idiosyncratic abilities that warmed us to them all those years ago.

their heady blend of influences manage to recall giddy space rock, children’s tv theme tunes, neil young’s farthest reaching rust era experiments and hyperactive psych to make something that, despite nods to 'wowee zowie' pavement, 'yoshimi battles the pink robots' era flaming lips and mercury rev's 'deserter's songs', sounds like nothing else out there. “driving mid-tempo drums, pulsing analogue synths and a beautiful, stately melancholy” – 9/10 uncut
