\nAmerikanske Grandaddy kaster med afskedspladen Just Like The Family Cat h\u00e5ndkl\u00e6det i ringen. “I don’t wanna work all night and day on writing songs\/ That make the young girls cry\/ Or playing little solos on the keyboard\/ So the kids will ask me how and why”, synger frontmand Jason Lyttle disillusioneret. Musikken lyder nu slet ikke s\u00e5 udbr\u00e6ndt, men derimod igen omtrent s\u00e5 fin, som p\u00e5 The Software Slump, Grandaddy’s hovedv\u00e6rk, noget den skuffende forg\u00e6nger Sumday ikke form\u00e5ede at leve op til. De bedste af de nye sange er s\u00e6regne sm\u00e5 perler, som f.eks. her nedenst\u00e5ende “Campershell Dreams”, der i l\u00e6ngselsfuld melodisk lethed tager samtlige points, f\u00f8r den stopper i egen bl\u00f8dende solnedgang. Bliver sp\u00e6ndende videre herfra at f\u00f8lge Jason Lyttle, der slet ikke synes f\u00e6rdig med at synge sin ensomme verden ud. Men for nu er der heldigvis Just Like The Family Cat, der st\u00e5r som et mere end v\u00e6rdigt punktum for Grandaddy, hans store lille band fra Modesto, California.<\/p>\n
CAMPERSHELL DREAMS<\/p>\n
You don’t have to be alone anymore
\nGood company’s a gift
\nYou don’t have to be alone anymore
\nGo ahead, disspell the myth
\nYou don’t have to be alone anymore
\nSad letters on the drift
\nYou don’t have to be alone anymore
\nThat really ain’t no way to live
\nIt really ain’t no way to live<\/p>\n
\u00a9 Jason Lyttle<\/p>\n
