It's Cocktail Time, America! That’s right -- GRACE, the sophomore effort from Planet Earth's favorite Western Mass bar band ANIMAL PISS, IT'S EVERYWHERE, is officially upon us. And indeed, there is a certain grace present amidst the rambles and ambles of this particular trip around the gramophone.
Picking up where 2022’s self-titled LP left off (deemed an "all-star romp through early West Coast country rock a la Moby Grape, Sons of Champlin, & Byrds" by Byron Coley), this latest full-length further explores such collectively road-tested themes as mortality, partying, doomed celebrity, and wasted-days-turned-regrettable-nights with equal parts stardusted mania and genuine pathos. Sorta like if an early Jimmy Buffett LP took a wrong turn down a dark alley somewhere between the poolside cabana and neighborhood crab shack, or if Brewer & Shipley tripped with the Meat Puppets in a tour van together.
Sophomore Lounge and Half A Million Records are happy to co-present this aural truckstop feast from the experimental northeast, and it arrives just in time to squeeze in a few more shoreline drives with what's left of these hazy summer daze. Jump in!
