Grandaddy have dropped a brand new tune referred to as “Bison on the Plains.” It’s launched by Danger Mouse’s 30th Century Records. Listen beneath. “Bison on the Plains” is the band’s first music of 2018, following final 12 months’s Last Place and Things Anyway EP.
In a press launch, Jason Lytle said:
Setting out with the intent of replicating the “feel and vibe” of the tune “Drive” which is considered one of my favourite Cars songs… I bought somewhat of the way in which into “Bison on the Plains” (“BOTP”) and realized I had failed. I blamed the lame new spot I had arrange my studio in Portland, Oregon. In the basement of some tremendous pretentious journal lured by low cost lease…. I simply actually was not feeling it.
I finished engaged on “BOTP” and cursed my new studio location and instantly started disassembling all the pieces… finally transferring out and establishing all my gear in the lounge of my little home in Portland. A current divorce and a purging of all home belongings/furnishings made establishing all of my gear straightforward and handy. This location additionally ended up being the place I wrote and recorded most of Last Place the latest Grandaddy album.
Anyways… I believed “BOTP” may make the reduce for Last Place but it surely didn’t. Apparently it nonetheless had some baggage carried over from whence it got here. I beloved the phrases although… and didn’t need to surrender on it… so it merely bought shelved in some incomplete kind till I may come again and spend some extra considerate time with it. So right here it’s.
It sounds as if the phrases are concerning the melodramatic lengths I am going to… and strategies I make use of… to border a picture in a tune. Almost jokingly. But respectfully.
Like all the noises, sound samples, buttons, keys, circuits, wires, strings, and equipment it takes for somebody like me to facilitate the lonely trying picture of a solitary bison standing out on the open plains.
I’ve no regrets of being a songwriter that can’t merely simply pull this off with an acoustic guitar and a few lyrics. I want my “tricks of the trade.”
Anyway… I’m simply relieved I bought the tune out of that dank basement and out into the sunshine.
Enjoy, J
