Blimey. Not thought of this band in years but quite like that.
Looking at Discogs, is it right that this will be their first recorded output in 10 years?

Yes, first in ten years and very promising it is.

There was a live set on one of the torrent sites yesterday. I thought I hadn't heard of the band being active in years.

The album's been delayed to next year, btw. Recent live set:

Nice!

Not wowed by the new track. Sounds to me like a slightly sluggish amalgam of the go in the go for it and OK with my decay. I wasn't so keen on post-sumday material but this seems like a weary retreat.

whoa, RIP. I hung out for an afternoon on Grandaddy's tour bus a million years ago and they were all super friendly guys.

Wow, just found out about this. He recorded one of my band's first studio session probably a good million years before tylerw was on their bus.
