Grandaddy – The Sophtware Slump… On A Wooden Piano (Cloudy Clear Vinyl) (MARKDOWN) Cheap

Modesto, CA s influential indie-rock group Grandaddy celebrates the 20th-anniversary of their classic second LP, 2000 s The Sophtware Slump with a brand-new solo piano recording of the album by principal songwriter Jason Lytle. The candid arrangements reveal new layers of meaning embedded in The Sophtware Slump s melancholy and touching vision of the future. With a meticulous yet scruffy sound that continues to draw comparisons to a post-millennial OK Computer – and which Pitchfork called a sad, quaint, low-key Y2K-era classic – The Sophtware Slump, now heard as a solo piano album, is a chance to let the songwriting shine. This is not a record made up of demos or rough sketches; it is a shadow sibling to a record that inspired a generation in the earliest days of the 21st century.
