It’s been five years since Great Grandpa released Four Of Arrows, and for a time, it seemed like it might be their last album. The members of the Seattle-based indie rock group — Al Menne, Carrie Goodwin, Cam Laflam, Dylan Hanwright, and Pat Goodwin – were being pulled in different directions in life. But in 2023, Great Grandpa reconvened and started working on a new album, Patience, Moonbeam, which comes out March 28th.
Described as Great Grandpa’s “most ambitious and confident-sounding album yet,” Patience, Moonbeam is “a testament to the band’s musical and spiritual connection.”
In a statement, Hanwright said, “We’re all like individual swinging pendulums, and every now and then we come into sync for a few rotations. Sometimes it’s two of us, sometimes three of us, often it’s not any of us. But when it does come together, it’s really beautiful.”
