Grand Archives' self titled CD is a surprisingly timeless classic yet simple in it's essence just like it's album cover with the piano front. While Seattle is famous for many things, sunlight isn't one of them. Yet illumination and warmth suffuse this debut CD from this Emerald City quintet. Dark times do not necessarily call for dark music. While singer/ guitarist Mat Brooke's previous ensembles (Band of Horses, Carissa's Weird) often shied away from light, he has changed direction with this band. Like the timeless classics of the Mamas & the Papas or the Turtles, it responds to the turbulent times of it's genesis with hope, high spirits, and a sense of camaraderie. 11 tracks. Sub Pop Records. 2008.
