Grumbeaux

"[A] mixture of old folk-inflected material that sounds goth, prog, glam, and punk, all at once, with especial attention paid to the rhythm section in a way that no one really does it anymore. Sort of like The Birthday Party, or Love and Rockets, if those bands were raised on singer-songwriter material. Or like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum if they had all grown up in Moscow, Idaho... really exceptional… exalted and confident… music that comes from an annihilation of self, in the past, in the present, and forever." —Rick Moody, Salmagundi Magazine SPIN: “Sounds like Calvin Johnson & Primus got together to pay homage to the late Kris Kristofferson by deconstructing his signature song and rebuilding it with viscera to spare.” ROLLING STONE en Espanol: "25 New Songs to Update Your Playlist." “Real cool concept; fantastic musicianship; the best ideas punk, jazz and folk have to offer—all wrapped up in emotionally impactful songs.” —Mark Blewitt, BOSE Plant something simple in the dirt, like acoustic guitar and voice, and see what clambers out, and what swarm of biota clings to it, each protist adding its own puny but inexhaustible voice. Grumbeaux is what you ate for dinner last night; it’s what stuck to your mother’s sole in the parking lot of Kohl’s; it’s the sound your grandfather makes when his false teeth pop out; it’s the elephant in the room and the lion that keeps you awake at night.
