Reddit had this mildly amusing tracklist when it leaked:



He's complex, he's intelligent, he's a pirate

The sadness of dustbin lids

Trash compactor's first sonnet

De-send UR-self

While my hi-fi gently buzzes

Ugly alcoholic air-con trees (trash compactor's second sonnet)

Google Earth lied to me

The go in the go-f##k-yourself-dave

"Grieve like a freeway tree" is almost just as good.



It's clunky, it's too long, but I really like this sentence anyway:

"Grandaddy always excelled at using their stargazing themes as a way to worm into the issues that hit closest to home, their obsession with machines and robots and home appliances always just a surface level masking their real interest in what makes humans tick, especially when that ticking is arrhythmic or off kilter."

thanks, that was the one I was quite proud of. I figured the sentiment would make up for the slightly dodgy construction

Maybe the first comma could be a full stop, but whatevs. Truth before aesthetics!

Can't believe no one has mentioned how a lot of these lyrics are about his divorce.

I imagine that's part of the reason he started doing a grandaddy record.

It's all so jaded.
Is it me, is it the music, is it what came before or what the future holds, is it the times we live in?

I dunno.

How accurate are the genre tags on this band? Because lo-fi, Americana, and dream pop sounds fixing amazing

Uhhh I definitely wouldn't call them Americana



Indie rock/pop with electronic elements
