Grand Archives' second full-length album, like much of its predecessor, was crafted at Paradise Sound in Index, WA with help from producer Ben Kersten (who also recorded The Grand Archives, the band's 2008 debut). A few friends dropped by during recording. Brooke's former Carissa's Weird cohorts, Jenn Ghetto and Sera Cahoone, sang backing vocals. The gorgeous streaks of pedal steel across the wistful sweep of 'Oslo Novelist' come courtesy of Jason Kardong. For the most part, Grand Archives played eve   [ read more ]
