<p><i>Sophomore studio album from Modesto's <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=Grandaddy" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Grandaddy</strong></a>.</i> <i>The Sophtware Slump</i> was written and recorded by frontman <strong>Jason Lytle</strong>, and feels like the heavy comedown of January 2, 2000 when we all realized things were going to be the same as they ever were. It's a sad album, one that seems to be coming to grips with the fact that technology is not going to make everything better. The production is rich and multi-layered, but never becomes bigger than the sum of its parts. Lytle's knack for simple melodies provides for hooky tracks that almost immediately draw you in. And his lyrics paint a vision of a dystopian future where nature has been taken over by the dregs of technology and consumerism. Can't we just escape it all?</p> <ul> <li>'dial-a-view' blue colored vinyl<br> </li> <li>limited edition</li> <li>original release year: 2000</li> <li>music label: Dangerbird Records 2026</li> </ul> <h6>reviewed by Nostalghia 02/2017</h6>.
