Featured Album this Week (2/7/11): “In Color” by Grand Hotel
After last night’s horrendous halftime display at the Super Bowl, I needed some emotional reconstruction. I needed something to reverse my temporary brain damage, and found a band in my inbox that did just the trick.
Grand Hotel is an indie rock band from Portland, Maine who mix catchy vocal harmonies with groovy bass lines to create a sound that is both confident and interesting.
Their latest album, “In Color”, is all set to release on February 22nd. Jason (bassist) sent me an advance download of the album, and I must say I loved it. I think you will too. This is guitar-heavy indie rock done right. It’s fun, it’s thoughtful, and keeps you interested the whole way through. I really like the track “Walken,” it sounds like Best Coast and David Bowie are butting heads.
You can purchase a copy of the album any time after February 22nd at Bullmoose, and I’m sure they’ll have some goodies available at their website and Facebook page in the near future.
