indie rock, alternative rock
Grandaddy carved out a unique space in indie rock with their blend of chugging guitars and spacey analog synths. Hailing from Modesto, California, the band broke through with their acclaimed 2000 album, The Sophtware Slump, a concept record about technology's impact on society. After a hiatus, the band has returned with new music, continuing to explore their signature sound that combines slacker vibes with sweeping, grand musical visions.
