    it's the first time I hear of this band and their return is a great thing for the rock&roll landscape. What a great album. The production is great, the sound is great. Some songs have some Pink Floyd mood to them but with a 2017 twist. Definitely one of the best album I heard in 2017 to date.

    Grab your beer. Head out into the country. And watch the sun set as you listen to the return of the most underrated band in the history of indie rock. Other than the song order and song length (Check Injun could have easily been twice as long) there is not a single thing to disappoint die hard fans. Best album since Sophtware Slump and dare I say better than Sumday as there's no cheese.Grab your beer. Head out into the country.

Lost Machine can compete with their best emotional punches and there's a bit of every shade of Grandaddy here on offer.… Expand

    This dream/space rock work does as the genre name suggests and creates wonderfully unique pockets of room that float peacefully through your ears, even though rhythm and overall cohesion may falter a bit for the standard multi piece rock band. My Score: 129/180 (Good) = 7.2/10

    A wonderful album and worthy successor to their earlier work. Great sounds, awesome lyrics and a generally grandaddyesque outlook. My album of the year for 2017

    With his piano, classical flourishes and superbly layered production a la E.L.O., it’s out of sync but, when it works, wonderfully so. Whether Lytle’s vocals work for you or not will probably be the main deciding factor as to whether the band itself works for you. Oftentimes he smooths out the edges, but his singing can come across as whiny.

    A collection that isn’t going to win over the world but might just help you make more sense out of it.

    Self-aware and refined, fifth album Last Place--the first in 11 years--is astonishingly solid.
