Since releasing their debut self-titled LP in ': ,: 2015, the band - Andrew Davis (vocals and guitar), Daniel :, : Busheikin (keyboards), Mike Searle (Bass) and Evan Lewis : :' (guitar) and Kurt Marcoux (the newly-recruited drummer) - have ': ,: logged countless hours on the road, touring throughout Canada :, : and the U.S. Somewhere down the line of empty motels, sand dunes : :' and vast, dry American landscapes, their dreamy psych pop ': ,: turned dark and unsettling. :, : : :' It started in their trusty Grounders van. With so much time ': ,: spent driving, the band found themselves listening to their :, : collection of CDs on relentless repeat, soaking up records like : :' KraftwerkÆs Computer World, Modern LoversÆ Modern Lovers, and ': ,: the Soul Jazz New York Noise compilation. At a tour stop in :, : Calgary for the GroundersÆ appearance at Sled Island festival in : :' 2015, the band stayed over at BusheikinÆs parentsÆ house, set ': ,: up their instruments and began recording improvisational demos. :, : ôEvery afternoon weÆd get up, make eggs, drink coffee, then fuck : :' around in the basement,ö says lead singer Andrew Davis. ': ,: :, : Later that fall, the band spent a rare week off from touring in : :' a small cabin near Sacramento, California. The setting felt ': ,: post-apocalyptic, covered by drought-starved dead grass, but it :, : marked another flurry of creativity, writing and demoing early : :' versions of songs that would later end up on Coffee & Jam. The ': ,: influences they absorbed became a wonky funhouse mirror of their :, : surroundings - gritty, stripped-down Americana that distorts : :' bands like The Cure, The Talking Heads and The Stranglers into ': ,: a jagged post-punk odyssey. At one point the power went out for :, : the whole block and the band assumed they had taken it down : :' themselves. ': ,: :, : Grounders continued writing and demoing in their garage : :' rehearsal space/gear palace, before hitting Union Sound studio ': ,: in 2016, where they recorded Coffee & Jam with Ian Gomes. :, : Working quickly, with few effects or studio tricks, the album : :' was produced by ôwhoever was in the room.ö It was mixed by the ': ,: elusive David Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Weaves) and mastered :, : by Gavin Gardiner (The Wooden Sky). : :' ': ,: Davis, meanwhile, found lyrical inspiration in classic cinematic :, : anti-heroes like Robert De Niro in Raging Bull and Paul Newman : :' in Cool Hand Luke. Through scraping synths and jangly guitars, ': ,: Coffee & Jam oozes with self-sabotage, anti-authoritarian :, : rebellion and that twenty-somethingÆs sense of the world passing : :' by. ': ,: :, : ôThe Judge, The Cook and The Clownö squeezes the sticky hooks of : :' The Cars through layers of paranoia, while ôMickey CanÆt Moveö ': ,: skranks a glittery New Wave groove along a dirty runway. The :, : album takes its title from a lyric in ôBringinÆ It In,ö a spiky, : :' surreal bounce that soaks diner grease in penthouse chanel. The ': ,: songs all teeter on the edge, like they might fall apart at any :, : moment (but never do). : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
