Grand Archives - The Grand Archives (2008) ..Outside the sky is overcast and grey. It has been raining and the ground is still wet from the last shower. In this weather, it looks it will remain wet for a while. And yet, it is the middle of April. Whatever, inside it is summer. I am listening to the self-titled debut album from the latest project of former Band of Horses and Carissa's Weird frontman, Mat Brooke - the Grand Archives . If ever there was an album to listen to in the warm evening as the sun starts to set, then this is it. The Grand Archives ' sound ...Music Emissions22 May 2012

TYLER RAMSEY – The Valley Wind(Echo Mountain/Shock) Band of Horses sideman returns to solo roots North Carolina’s Tyler Ramsey released his second album, A Long Dream About Swimming In The Sea, in 2008, just around the time it was announced that he would join Band Of Horses. Unheard by most of the world, A Long Dream… with its weary acoustic-picking folk was comfort for those unsure of whether he could fill the shoes of Mat Brooke after his departure to form The Grand Archives. Ramsey’s presence and smoky voice was felt on ...Rave Magazine24 January 2012

Seattle City Arts Fest: USF, Grand Archives ..USF The dance culture surrounding much electronic music is, as far as I am concerned, from another planet. As I sat at a USF show in Seattle (part of City Arts Festival), watching a man move his body in awkward, disjointed gestures that he seemed to have learned from the Teletubbies, I couldn’t reconcile what I was witnessing with what the term ‘dance’ usually evokes in one’s mind. A woman near the side of the stage had one foot suspended [...]Indie Rock Reviews27 October 2011

Carissa's Wierd Record First New Songs in Se ..Last year, the excellent Seattle indie sad-core outfit Carissa’s Wierd reunited for a one-off concert in their hometown to celebrate the release of a new retrospective compilation , They’ll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 1996-2003 , via Hardly Art.

Enter “Meredith & Iris,” a new Mat Brooke (Grand Archives, Band of Horses) and Jenn Ghetto-led track that would fit seamlessly among their venerable oeuvre ...TwentyFourBit9 August 2011
