Having grown tired of hearing everyone and anyone with access to a home digital "recording studio" pump out often lifeless collections of songs, this past July the three members of Grandfather sold off all of their home recording equipment and headed to Chicago to make their album "Why I’d Try" – with the help of wizard of analog recording himself, engineer Steve Albini. The band, that plays an intense brand of (non-instrumental) post-rock that often escalates to post-punk peaks, is offering a free digital download of the product of this collaboration here. Check them out live at Union Pool on 11.20. – Read an in depth review of their CD on Dave Cromwell’s blog.
