PLAYLIST: Great Grandpa’s Songs They Wish They Knew When They Were Younger

 

How Great Grandpa pivoted from grunge to folky indie rock on new album Four Of Arrows

 

all aspiring comes with equal consequence
like some things we abuse and the joys they prevent

dark green water is such a massive punch in the face to open this album.

 

“Treat Jar” is immense

 

Digging this

 

You’re gonna have to make your own coffee now

 

I like this a lot. My favorites would have to be the singles, Rosalie, and Split Up The Kids.

 

ayyy same time thread bump

 

This is outstanding in its own right, but I can’t help but be a LITTLE disappointed this doesn’t sound like the band who made Plastic Cough. I loved that record too.

 

just noticed “it’s like I’m barely even there” transitions into Mostly Here

 

o ya add human condition to my list of favorites too

 

My granddad died from a brain tumour a few years ago. To my dad, the last months with his father are his most treasured memories. My grandpa softened and allowed my dad to take care of him. Seeing him lose his recollections of us grandkids and seeing him so fragile was devastating. Now, my grandma has quickly deteriorated and probably has (undiagnosed) dementia. She lives alone in a tiny town, she’s retired from work and struggles with depression. I never thought a song would cover impermanence and death the way Mono No Aware does

When grandma slowly faded from Alzheimer's
Like a lifeless steak in that empty diner
It now reminds me of my failing grasp
Of the present, memory, self, and past

Man. I’m fucking wrecked. This album is outstanding

 

this is amazing wtf they were already great but this is some next level shit

 

I just keep replaying this album over and over.

This is outdoing every other album I was listening to right now. Like I should listen to other stuff, but I keep wanting to listen to this haha.

 

there are some heavy Rilo Kiley vibes on some of these songs

 

yeah this really is awesome

 

My record came in!!! It’s gorgeous

 

I think I figured out my own question and it sounds like the end of Goodbye Sky Harbor. Either way it's awesome.

 

On my first listen rn and I wanted to run around the room when the intro to Bloom hit

 

Just need to say - once again - that “Treat Jar” is phenomenal. Whole album is massive, totally lives up to the expectations laid out by the singles, but that one in particular is doing something to me today.

 

Just got to this one and it also makes me want to run around the room

 

I think Treat Jar might honestly be my least favorite. I still really like it, but idk. Maybe because Rosalie and Human Condition are two of my favorites
