DejanSt.Apr 8, 2008An Amazing debut. Something between Teenage Fanclub and Wilco. A band with bright future.

PedroD.Jul 24, 2008A sort of natural influences from singer Mat Brooke,formerly of Band of Horses. But smart the way they work out with their cultural "archives". Such a nice future they have!!! Mature, Happy and Peaceful.

ChristianP.Mar 25, 2008A very solid debut. Full of whimsy and sunshine. Though there are a couple missteps, the album is full of great moments. Horns are used tastefully, same with harmonies. Definitely worth a listen.

Adding harmonies from Curtis Hall, Ron Lewis, and Jeff Montano helps to thicken the melody, and Grand Archives revolves around the strong singalong hooks that turn this debut into a soft rock record for the indie crowd.

Great in moments and undecided in others, The Grand Archives show hints of promise here, but don't really have enough to set them apart.

Singer Mat Brooke, formerly of Band of Horses and Carissa's Wierd, embraces the sunlight so rare to his home base of Seattle, leading his merry quintet on a journey to the happy place with a peaceful, warm, and affecting debut.
