Great Grandpa's 2019 album 'Four of Arrows' established them as an underrated band in emo-adjacent indie rock. The group faced challenges recording new music in 2020, leading to a temporary breakup. Members dispersed, with singer Al Menne moving to Los Angeles. Their new album, 'Patience, Moonbeam,' symbolizes their reunion, tackling themes of change and identity as they adjust to one another's new lives. This reflects both growth and enduring connections, echoing their musical influences and legacy.
Patience, Moonbeam, the belated follow-up to Four of Arrows, sometimes plays like Great Grandpa's attempt to reconcile their time apart.
'Task,' a sweet and ultimately triumphant account of their reunion, opens with an account of overcoming the initial awkwardness of adjusting to each other's new lives and identities.
