Grandaddy have officially made their long-awaited return with the announcement of Last Place, their first album in a decade. The Modesto, California group gained popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s with the synthy fuzz rock of albums like Under the Western Freeway (1997) and The Sophtware Slump (2000). But the band broke up in 2006 when frontman Jason Lytle moved to Montana to record solo albums while surrounded by nature.
Now Lytle’s back in Modesto, close to his bandmates. And with that proximity came inspiration. Lytle started writing for Grandaddy again, in a style he described as “just enough personal stuff and just enough escapism, just enough electronics and just enough acoustic elements. The full spectrum.”
Last Place was produced by Danger Mouse and will be released on March 3, 2017. Check out the video for lead single “Way We Won’t” below, followed by dates for their UK tour. US dates are forthcoming.
