"Great Grandpa Reveals New Single 'Ladybug'"
Indie sensation Great Grandpa is back with a delightful new single and video titled “Ladybug,” heralding the upcoming release of their much-anticipated album, Patience, Moonbeam, set to drop on March 28, 2023, via Run For Cover Records. This long-awaited album follows their critically acclaimed Four of Arrows and promises to showcase the band’s unique sound, a blend of whimsical storytelling and profound musicality.
“Ladybug,” described as playful and exuberant, follows earlier singles “Junior,” “Kid,” and “Doom.” The single features lyrics that are both clever and adventurous, appealing to anyone who has experienced fleeting moments of joy. Accompanying the track is a video directed by band member Dylan Hanwright, which combines candid footage from their recording sessions and tours, enhancing the song’s spirited essence.
Great Grandpa articulates the meaning behind “Ladybug” as a celebration of those spontaneous, joyous moments that often go unrecognized, like unexpectedly crashing a stranger’s wedding. They emphasize the thrill of enjoying life’s small, innocent pleasures and the camaraderie felt in sharing those experiences. This joyous narrative represents a new chapter in their musical evolution, highlighting a sense of community among the band members.
The formation of Patience, Moonbeam marks a significant shift in the band’s creative process. Unlike their previous work, where one member carried the songwriting burden, this album embraces a more collaborative atmosphere. All five members played vital roles in crafting songs that blend their distinct voices into a harmonious whole. This dynamic has led to a work that feels cohesive yet diverse, showcasing how each member’s individual strengths contribute to their signature sound.
Great Grandpa has already stirred excitement this year with their highly anticipated return to live performances after a five-year hiatus. Their recent sold-out shows on the East Coast have generated palpable buzz, culminating in a sold-out concert in Los Angeles. For fans in San Francisco, last-minute tickets are still available for their upcoming show.
As fans eagerly await the release of Patience, Moonbeam, Great Grandpa encourages everyone to listen to their latest singles, including “Ladybug,” along with “Kid,” “Doom,” and “Junior.” These tracks collectively offer a glimpse into the thoughtful and rich narrative tapestry that the album promises to deliver.
Pre-orders for Patience, Moonbeam are now available for those eager to secure their copy. This release not only marks the continuation of their journey but also cements their status as a vital force in the indie music scene. Fans can expect a soundtrack that reflects not just their musical prowess but their emotional depth and connection to one another.
Mark your calendars for March 28 and be sure to catch Great Grandpa as they embark on this exciting new phase in their musical career. With fresh sounds and heartfelt lyrics, they’re poised to delight old fans and newcomers alike.
