Here’s an intro to Oakland, CA’s Grand Lake. A foursome comprised of an ex-Port O’Brien member, 2 music school grads and a local singer-songwriter. Think ‘minimalist arrangements of catchy pop tunes, paired with a sensibility that smacks of both the conservatory and the garage’ all available on their new disc ‘Nevermint’ (Came out yesterday on 500records).

For your consumption try Concrete Blonde on Blonde. Cool little vid of a road trip in a bug with editing experience.

and while we’re at it, check out Nevermint.

Currently, this band is touring local. Lucky ones in California, check their dates.
