A prolific storyteller, Jason Lytle is inspired by the overwhelming beauty of nature to the mundane moments that spark life’s strongest memories. Introducing pedal steel into the band’s repertoire for the first time, buoyant lead single “Watercooler” comments on the dichotomy of both. It was inspired by having his own outdoorsy rock guy (in both senses of the word) lifestyle while his partner had an office job. Lytle shares, “Most of my relationships have involved girls who worked in office settings. This song is about the end of one, or perhaps a few, of those relationships. Listeners will also notice the pedal steel on this track and eventually on many others from the forthcoming new album. It’s a first for Grandaddy, and I couldn't be more thrilled about this fact.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith the album title Blu Wav meant to be a literal mash-up of “bluegrass” and “new wave”, the new collection has a distinct feel, a uniform vibe, and a somewhat unexpected sound. It was conceived as Grandaddy maestro Jason Lytle was driving through the Nevada desert, and Patti Page’s \"Tennessee Waltz\" came across the classic country station on the radio. He was immediately intrigued by the possibilities of what it might sound like to keep the slow sway and sweet, simple lyrics of the bluegrass waltz while adding layers of dense synthesizers and the electronics of new wave. It incorporates the lo-fi lushness and sometimes-psychedelic orchestration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003eGrandaddy is known \u003c\/span\u003efor with Lytle’s\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003e first foray into true country. Seven of its 13 songs are waltzes, and as Lytle notes, “there’s an inordinate amount of pedal steel.” \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003eGrandaddy recently celebrated their legacy with a series of 20th anniversary reissues including the acclaimed \u003c\/span\u003eSumday\u003cspan style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #4a4a4a;\"\u003e Twunny box set which earned a Pitchfork ‘Best New Reissue”.
