Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Mini review
When rummaging through a decades-worth of long-lost albums, there are those you thought were great, but now plainly aren't, and those that completely floor you far more than the even did first time round. Troubling the top 40, Grandaddy's cleverly named second album Sophtware Slump easily falls into the latter category. Sounding like it arrived in beginning-of-the-decade California in a time capsule, the electronic flourishes littered through their lo-fi country rock haven't been bettered by anyone who combined the two since.
