Stream Great Grandpa "Ladybug" ahead of 'Patience, Moonbeam' out 3/28
Earlier this year, “indie darlings” (Exclaim) Great Grandpa announced their long-awaited album, Patience, Moonbeam, out March 28th. Today, they present a new single/video, “Ladybug.” Following the “riveting folk odyssey” (Stereogum) “Junior,” “Kid,” and “Doom,” “Ladybug” is playful and exuberant. Its collaboratively written lyrics lean whimsical - “dressed like Donald Glover on a GQ cover” and “you’re just a ladybug, dressed like Mama Duggar as a 90s mother.” The song’s accompanying video, directed by the band’s Dylan Hanwright, features footage taken from the band’s recording sessions and tours
The band elaborates on the track: “Every once in a while you find yourself tripping on a beautiful day with a best friend and stumble into the middle of a stranger's wedding in a park. It's always these small fickle, fleeting moments we're seeking that can never be bottled or sustained. What good luck does the ladybug bring? We scream together for those shared seconds of unadulterated joy. We'll feel ok when it comes back again right? Kid Cudi did it first.”
