Like Radiohead's incomparable Kid A (which no description can serve nearly as well as a proper listen), Grandaddy released their second album in the year 2000. This timing seemed appropriate for both, considering their overall aesthetic and thematic content. The Sophtware Slump is what Kid A might have sounded like if Radiohead hailed from sunny California and felt considerably less ambitious...Sort of like Kid A-lite.A good choice if you dig: songs about technology, alienation, robots, etc.; cool atmospherics; electronica seeming simultaneously impersonal and intimate.
Tracks to try: Hewletts Daughter, The Crystal Lake, Chartsengrafs, Broken Household Appliance National Forest, Miner At the Dial-A-View
