This is funny — the band here is my cousin’s (my mom’s nephew). I can’t remember if he plays bass or guitar but it’s something kinda eight-shaped with strings.
Rock Sellout » Grand Archives tour, release a new record
One-time Band of Horses member Mat Brooke has, over the course of the last year and a half or so, assembled together a new band called Grand Archives, who will be releasing their debut via Sub Pop on February 19. The almost self-titled record, The Grand Archives, bears 11 tracks including three from their self-released CD-R release, which you can still pick up in the Sub Pop store. They also just announced a big tour in support of the record, which should be totally awesome. I’ve been candid in the last two years of my love for Band of Horses, and Grand Archives bring a similar, but at times more graceful sound. I think this record, from what I’ve heard of it promises to be a sleeper for one of the finer albums of the year purely due to it’s strength of songcraft and inherent likability.
