Grandaddy, Blu Wav, 2024 on Dangerbird

New record from 90s indie rock band Grandaddy – their first in ~6 years and the first since bassist Kevin Garcia died. Blu wav is meant to be a portmanteau of “Bluegrass” and “New Wave” but it makes me think of the blue wave we hoped to see in the last election.

Tucker Martine did the mixing, but Lytle wrote, performed, and produced all the songs, supported by Max Hart on Pedal Steel. Not sure what makes a Grandaddy album versus a Jason Lytle solo album but I’ll take it either way.

My copy – on “Nebula Vinyl” – via Rough Trade online.
