In September 2006, was born in Seattle Grand Archives, led by singer and guitarist Mat Brooke, known for its good work on Band of Horses and Carissa's Weird.
Accompanied by drummer Curtis Hall, bassist Jeff Montano and guitarist / keyboard player Ron Lewis and shortly thereafter by guitarist Thomas Wright recorded his first self-titled album that could be found in the melodies of pop and folk-rock and the 60 California 70.
The album was considered by critics as one of the best albums of the year.
Now they're back with new album, Keep in Mind Frankenstein, who will present on Friday January 22 at 21:30 pm in the Auditorium Music Other cycle of Murcia.
Tickets cost 15 Euros.
The singer and guitarist Mat Brooke had big plans for this second album.
The band had written a handful of new songs, and was perfected in dozens of concerts around the world.
They were ready to begin, however, something happened when they entered the study which changed the normal course of what would be the recording.
According to Matt himself has the band sounded like ... guys do not play rock music really trying to sound rockers, the disc, apparently had very different plans about its sound.
Except one topic all the rest of the album was conceived in the studio.
And as the old songs began to fly, other new works were taking place gaining a new identity disk, rather darker than the first album.
Keep In Mind Frankenstein brings us back to a more nocturnal Grand Archives where the harmonies come to the fore.
The vocal work is very much present on the disc, is perfectly matched to the absence of abundant pop standards on his last album.
Now there is less folk-rock sound and a more spiritual and intimate, driven by voices naked, sometimes extremely bare, essentially a raw arrangements that give the album a special sensitivity.
Keep in Mind, Frankenstein ignores the emotional crescendos that so much applause ripped the Grand Archives self-titled album, but kept its formula with heavenly melodies truffled perfect vocal harmonies.
At times, it seems the reverse at night, is that Brooke has gone down the piston consciously.
More than an album of songs, new compositions of Grand Archives, as the dreamy Oslo Novelist, have the vocation to become an ethereal mood, almost beatific, perfect for rainy afternoons refuge in the fall and lazy Sunday mornings.
But beware, that despite her fragile shell we are not facing a material harmless.
