Blu Wav

Description

With the album title Blu Wav meant to be a literal mash-up of ‘bluegrass’ and ‘new wave’, the collection has a distinct feel, a uniform vibe, and a somewhat unexpected sound. It was conceived as Grandaddy maestro Jason Lytle was driving through the Nevada desert, and Patti Page’s ‘Tennessee Waltz’ came across the classic country station on the radio. He was immediately intrigued by the possibilities of what it might sound like to keep the slow sway and sweet, simple lyrics of the bluegrass waltz while adding layers of dense synthesizers and the electronics of new wave.
