Stream the self-titled debut from Michael A Grammar
Brighton's Michael A Grammar have some weird and wonderful backstories: from finding their current bass player posing in a life drawing class, to one member having to fight deportation to Africa. In the midst of this, the four-piece lost their record in a computer breakdown but reveal it today in its all its 12-track glory.
Unlike the bands currently responsible for 2014's psych revival, Michael A Grammar's debut hears sonic experimentation across psych, shoegaze, rock and even flirts with funk. Guitarist and singer Joel Sayers said: “This record marks the voyage of change that has been underway since our beginning, documented in the way we know best.”
Best Fit reviewer Harry Fletcher wrote: "An amalgamation of 2012 and 2014 EPs Vitamin Easy and Random Easy plus a few new tracks, Brighton four-piece Michael A Grammar’s absorbing debut oscillates from rakish languor to grazed-knuckle cacophony with equally refined and vociferous results."
