Release Notes:
Grand ArchivesÆ second full-length album, like much of its predecessor,
was crafted at Paradise Sound in Index, WA with help from producer Ben
Kersten (who also recorded The Grand Archives, the bandÆs 2008 debut).
A few friends dropped by during recording. BrookeÆs former CarissaÆs
Wierd cohorts, Jenn Ghetto and Sera Cahoone, sang backing vocals. The
gorgeous streaks of pedal steel across the wistful sweep of ôOslo
Novelistö come courtesy of Jason Kardong. For the most part, Grand
Archives played everything. Especially the weird bits. ItÆs a little
darker than the first record and opens with the bittersweet elegy
ôTopsyÆs Revenge,ö inspired by the infamous 1903 newsreel footage of
Thomas Edison electrocuting a rogue Coney Island elephant. Songs like
ôDig That Crazy Grave,ö a buoyant ditty redolent of Southern California
and summer afternoons, and the insistent, soaring Silver Among the Gold
find their place here as well. ItÆs an album made up of disparate
elements artfully fit together and brought to life with affecting
results: Keep in Mind Frankenstein.
