Patience, Moonbeam [Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Great Grandpa
Amoeba Review
Great Grandpa's third studio album has arrived, serving up another dose of their moving and introspective indie rock. Intricately arranged, these songs are melancholy but stirring with lush melodies and heartfelt vocals by Al Menne. Largely gentle songs like "Ladybug" and "Doom" are punctuated by moments of sudden swells of guitar, adding some engaging dynamics. Album closer "Kid" is epic and gorgeous, a touching song about the loss of a pregnancy experienced by the band's married bassist and guitarist, Carrie and Pat Goodwin.
