Grand Archives

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Grand Archives Pop New - LP SP754 Sub Pop Sealed 2008 Original With Free White Vinyl 7" Single And Free MP3 Download Of Entire Album. Matt Brooke (Ex-Band Of Horses) Started Grand Archives With A Trio Of Friends In September, 2006. Drummer Curtis Hall (The Jeunes), Bassist Jeff Montano (The New Mexicans), And Guitarist/Keyboard Player Ron Lewis (Ghost Stories) Shared His Desire To Make Great Pop, Rather Than Curse The Darkness; Guitarist Thomas Wright Signed On Soon After. The Beach Boys And Bee-Gees Were Referenced Freely, Sans Shame Or Irony. Four- And Five-Part Vocal Harmonies Were Essential; In Time, Lyrics Would Be Rewritten, Sometimes Repeatedly, To Resonate Better When Sung. Finding Their Sound Came Naturally. Fine-Tuning The Songs? That Took Some Work. The Band Recorded Its Debut At Three Different Studios Throughout Summer 2007, With Ben Kersten Producing. “We Wanted To Mess Around With As Many Unorthodox Instruments And Sounds As We Could,” Says Mat. Across The Album’s Eleven Tracks, You’ll Hear Trombone And Flugelhorn, Violin And Pedal Steel Guitar – And Some Timbres Trickier To Identify. Slide Guitars Were Rubbed With Violin Bows, Cellos Plucked To Create Bass Lines. “At One Point, We Put A Mic On A Ukulele And Played It Through Every Effects Pedal In The Place.”... more details
