Happy Monday! SASQUATCH...it always reminds me of fun, music and freedom. So does the music of this week's pick, GROUPLOVE.
When the members of Grouplove met it was like a dream. The setting was a remote artist colony on the exotic and mysterious Greek island of Crete. Drummer/producer Ryan Rabin and his childhood friend and former bandmate, guitarist Andrew Wessen, came from California; guitarist Christian Zucconi and keyboarist Hannah Hooper traveled from New York, and bassist Sean Gadd was the lone Brit. Each member went to Greece for their own independent reasons but over time they gravitated toward each other and discovered the sound that unified them: a merging of richly narrated, intricate songs with anthemic classic pop production.
It took the band the better part of a year to reunite after they left the island, but as they prepare to release their debut album, Never Trust A Happy Song, they’re starting to realize what began as fantasy has now become reality. I love this band; their attitude and energy toward music continually inspires me and puts a smile on my face.
So please enjoy my favorite track from this band.....TongueTied!
