Grandaddy announce new record Last Place, share new "Way We Won't" video
Grandaddy have announced their comeback album proper - Last Place is their first record in over 10 years.
The group have also detailed a new tour and shared a new video for "Way We Won't" starring Jason Ritter - check it out on NPR. The song was originally released in September with B-side "Clear Your History".
"To be honest, I would have loved to have made a video based exactly on the lyrics of this song," Grandaddy's Jason Lytle tells NPR. "But I really like [director] Chris Grieder's treatment because the main character is an outsider who has taken to wandering and can't get accepted (picked up) by a varying array of characters. I felt it was important to place a girl in the cast of characters, someone who had some attachment to the loner guy and perhaps, just perhaps, was responsible for putting him on that lonely road. I have to say my absolute favorite part is the very end (you have to watch it)."
"I wanted bits of surreal humor to bring it all together," adds Grieder. "Jason Ritter was having so much fun with the role while we were shooting, and he really did a fantastic job at capturing this sweet and gentle man who's constantly down on his luck, and maybe losing his mind a bit."
The last Grandaddy LP, Just Like The Fambly Cat, arrived in 2006. The band recently made a live comeback, performing new material at Green Man Festival earlier this year.
