Details:
Father Time had a still. After what felt like cosmic years of stomaching the light lager of throwbacks to the sixties and seventies, he got a wild, grey hair up his ancient, omniscient ass and dusted the brass and glass that had been sitting in his basement for centuries—nay, kiloannums. Maybe megaannums. He spun the wheel of fates, knowing full well where that clicking pin would stop. He reached for the bottle labeled “1990-1999 Common Era,” popped the top, poured, and lit the flame. He blinked a decade to find the finest spirit he had ingested in ages; a spirit that hit him honeyed around the teeth and tongue and left a trail of fire from the back of his head to the pit of his stomach. Father Time smiled and grimaced, sip after sip after glorious sip, and said to himself, “Grand Hotel.”
As if that tale were true, Grand Hotel’s colorful consonance pounds on eardrums like the gods had spoken, leaving listeners charmed and charred, immobile and in motion, pillars of salt and drunken Lots. Better than the first sweet scalding from too-hot pie, candied choruses scorch the roofs of mouths and linger on lips like last night’s drunken poetry. One writer with incredible taste said, “Grand Hotel has ‘80s Mick Jagger swagger,” and you might be hard pressed for a reason to disagree.
The finest of the 90s with an 80s haircut and an ear for atmosphere, Grand Hotel represent both a shift in aesthetic for indie pop and an undeniable continuity with the faithful rock ‘n roll remnant. Future-oriented and root-conscious, there is nothing tentative here. No one will be traipsing and there is only one volume. With the grit and grace of rock and roll past and luscious layers of airy noise all their own, Grand Hotel move unapologetically forward, half-marching, half-stumbling, and at least half as plastered and cobblestoned as the streets of the Old Port themselves.
A powder keg of pop, sardonic and smart, this deadpan musical will all but force you to your feet. Stick ‘em up. And bring your fucking dancing shoes.
GRAND HOTEL
This is a band to watch, and better still to listen to. It''s hard to say Maine has a "sound" when it comes to rock music, but there is something about the new album that raises the notion.
Moving away from the big flashy hard rock trend, but also backing down off that jam band prog rock pedestal, Grand Hotel has the soul of a working blues band in the body of a Portland rock band writing songs that will deliver over a long tour, not just for the fans but the band too. Not quite smashing the guitar for a finale because, well, you need to play it the next night. This subtle resistance to rock''s charms and the inclusion of a world outside the tour makes for songs about life not just excess, and yet still remains fun to dance to. rock ''n roll is here to stay, still.
