LIMITED INDIES EXCLUSIVE EDITION VINYL GATEFOLD VARIANTS
VENUS VINYL OF THE MONTH - MARCH 2025
Release Date: 28th March 2025
A triumphant return from an old shop favourite, six years in the making! Patience is a key part of this album in every sense of the word. 'Patience, Moonbeam' was matured overtime at the band's pace and it shows in its ability to be so many different sounds but have a 'wholistic' sound. But at the heart of it, the record is centred on Great Grandpa's unique mix of country-tinged emo-tive indie-rock with smatterings of electronics and orchestral flourishes. Patience pays!
For Fans Of: Big Thief, Ratboys, Why Bonnie, The Ophelias
"Six years removed from their last release, Seattle’s Great Grandpa return with Patience, Moonbeam - an ambitious and deeply moving new album that almost didn’t happen. A decade of making music together was put on pause while each of the band’s were called indifferent directions. But as with any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet reunited, scrapped most ideas of songs they had put together, and started fresh to work on what would become their best album to date, due out in March on Run For Cover Records. Whereas 2019’s Four of Arrows mostly came together in the pres-sure-cooker atmosphere of the studio with the help of an outside producer, Patience, Moonbeam emerged slowly through a generous demoing process. With fewer constraints and more control, the band had the opportunity to experiment and take their time, leading to a collection that feels and sounds more fully, confidently, themselves. Built on an “open door policy” for writing and recording, Patience, Moonbeam is the result of how seamlessly all five members contributed to the creation of the album. The result is a record that swings like a pendulum from heavy to tender, playful to weighty, painting a sonic illustration of the pains and pleasures of being alive across eleven songs. What could suffer from a kitchen-sink approach instead comes together brilliantly, a testament to the band’s musical and spiritual connection. With Patience, Moonbeam, Great Grandpa has crafted a triumphant document of what happens when your collaborators become your chosen family."
