Jason Lytle

A nice surprise in our mailbox came way of three musicians well-known in the indie folk rock world – Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Tyler Ramsey (formerly Band of Horses), and independent artist Kramies Windt. Lytle, Ramsey and Windt have been friends and toured and worked together for years. So it’s...

As if the robotic pep talk that is “In It to Win It” wasn’t uplifting enough, the latest single from Brad Sucks’ first album since 2012, A New Low in Hi-Fi, is the story of inspiration, mortification, and redemption. With its Grandaddy vibes, the mumblecore indie-pop single was an excuse to mend bridges with the indietronica icons after a perceived ill-fated first impression with vocalist Jason Lytle.

To celebrate its 20th birthday last year, Grandaddy's much-loved album The Sophtware Slump received the standard re-release treatment, including B-sides and demos, along with a curious addition: the reimagining of these songs in a brand-new approach which stripped away its lush, layered elements in favor of simple reinterpretations on the piano. Founder and songwriter Jason Lytle titled the new release, fittingly, The Sophtware Slump on a Wooden Piano.
