Grandaddy fans have been diligently waiting for the group to release an album since 2003 when they released Just Like the Fambly Cat. In 2012 fans got a little tease when band member Jason Lytle hinted towards new album on the horizon. Now the time has finally come since the indie rock band just announced they’d be releasing their fifth studio album Last Place on March 3, 2017 via 30th Century Records.. The new album will feature twelve songs, and two of which has already been released. Check below for the whole track list and album art.
The band released “Clear Your History,” which is a slower melodic track compared to the more pop rock track “Way We Won’t.” Grandaddy also dropped a video for “Way We Wont,” which features actor Jason Ritter who is stranded in the middle of the desert struggling for a ride.
“To be honest, I would have loved to have made a video based exactly on the lyrics of this song,” said frontman Jason Ltyle in an interview with NPR Music. “But I really like Chris Grieder’s treatment because the main character is an outsider who has taken to wandering and can’t get accepted (picked up) by a varying array of characters.”
The director of the video, Chris Grieder said, “I wanted bits of surreal humor to bring it all together. Jason Ritter was having so much fun with the role while we were shooting, and he really did a fantastic job at capturing this sweet and gentle man who’s constantly down on his luck, and maybe losing his mind a bit.”
In 2014 Grandaddy teamed up with Band of Horses to record the song “Hang an Ornament,” that you can watch here. Members of the two bands also joined together with Midlake and Travis And Franz Ferdinand to create the supergroup called Banquet in 2015.
