Great Grandpa - "Patience, Moonbeam" is out today!

Patience, Moonbeam is Great Grandpa’s most collaborative and sonically expansive work yet. From the sparkling pop-grunge of their first record Plastic Cough (2017), to the sprawling indie rock of Four of Arrows, the band has been on a clear trajectory of both refining and re-defining their sonic identity. Patience, Moonbeam delivers on that promise, taking the band’s DNA and elevating it. All of Great Grandpa’s signature elements are there—the untraditional song structures, the abundance of hooky melodies, Al’s soothing yet stirring lead vocals—but with a sophistication that mirrors their years of personal growth.

Swinging like a pendulum from heavy to tender, playful to weighty, these 11 songs seem to paint a sonic illustration of the pains and pleasures of being alive. The band picks at the complexities of life and growing up while moving deftly through a sea of melodies and scene changes. These close-knit friends - Al Menne, Dylan Hanwright, Pat and Carrie Goodwin, and Cam LaFlam - have crafted a triumphant document of what happens when your collaborators become your chosen family.
