Grand Archives are the real deal. After a continuing motion of nearly all this new decade, Sub Pop reveals to us ‘the’ new hallmark moment in the transistion and transportation Indie rock must achieve. Grand Archives sounds seem to harken in a retro of direction of the hormonies of past ledgendary greats, simultaneously plowing forward with their own rightous cause, guiding all who would follow, a ‘new bar’ to aspire to in the Indie/rock movement. Sub Pop’s sweet pre-order promo-free 7"er and pre-order free audit make Grand Archive’s debut an easy slam dunk web sale selection. Way to go Sub Pop.

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! can’t wait for the show, Oh Boy! Ok, I might have an adjustment period getting used to the new production methods on the LP – the lo-fi sound of the EP was music to my ears. Still … cant wait!

Why can I not figure out how to pre-order this thing? The link goes to their album page but only the old one is listed.

This is the info for the pre-order of the first Grand Archives record, which came out in Feb. of 2008. The new one, Keep in Mind Frankenstein, is not yet avail. for pre-order. As soon as we have the details on that sorted, we’ll get a news piece about that up and turn the pre-order on. I expect that’ll happen in the next week or two. Also, if you sign up for the Grand Archives email list (here www.subpop.com/account, under the “Groups” drop-down), we’ll send you a note about the pre-order when it’s up. Thanks!

haha, I feel dumb now. Thanks for the info! I guess I was screwed up ‘cause on the band’s page this is the newest post about them. Thanks!
