4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, May 29, 2008

mlm (austin, tx) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grand Archives (Audio CD)

Grand Archives is a new project out of Seattle by Mat Brooke who split from Band of Horses, this is after both he and Ben Bridwell split from Carissa's Wierd to form Band of Horses. Their sound is indie folk/pop music with vocals in harmony. The other band members are bassist Jeff Montano (the New Mexicans), guitarist Curtis Hall (the Jeunes), multi-instrumentalist Ron Lewis (Ghost Stories) and drummer Thomas Wright.

A Setting Sun (track 6) is a catchy song with a country feel. Torn Blye Foam Coach (track 1) is a layered, urgent track. Swan Matches (track 3) is a slow lazy stroll. Sleepdriving (track 8) starts out as a subdued and meandering song with violin which builds up to layered vocals and guitars. Crime Wave (track 10) is an indie pop track, different from the others, where they say the vocals mostly instead of singing them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great things from a Grand band, February 21, 2008

Mark Butler - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Grand Archives (Audio CD)

I love the new album from Grand Archives. The members of this Seattle combo have a long history of making great music with other bands, most notably Mat Brooke (from Carissa's Wierd and Band Of Horses) and Ron Lewis (from Ghost Stories, whose Quixoticism was a highlight of 2007). Rich harmonies, catchy hooks (including some of the best whistling in ages,) and lustrous guitars abound. Get this record!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of fresh air.
I think this album has had more plays in my CD player than any other album I own. Mat Brooke and crew have created one of the most enjoyable, beautiful albums I've ever heard. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars very good
actually more of a 4.5 rating. This album is great, especially if you are/were a fan of Band of Horses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first album
This album hasn't been far from my CD player since I first got it. Songs range from mellow to rockin', Beatle-esque to unmistakably modern. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder where all the talent went in that last "Band Of Horses" album?
It was lead singer Matt Brook's talent one heard in "Everything All The Time" and on this album he's found more worthy company to create an album hypnotizing yet bright. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wearing the CD Out!
I have not listened to another album since this was released and it is everything I hoped for and more. Their Demo/EP set the table and they have surely delivered. Read more
