Generationals' Defining Album Out Today (Polyvinyl)

GENERATIONALS RELEASE HEATHERHEAD ALBUM OUT TODAY ON ​​POLYVINYL RECORD CO US TOUR KICKS OFF SEPTEMBER 7 “[‘Waking Moment’] just might be your feel-good hit of the nearly-summer” - KCRW “Their most-ambitious manifestation of warm, danceable indie pop balms yet” - PASTE “Even in this age where churning out music by the dozen is the norm, the duo often takes their time crafting music that speaks to their soul and draws the listener in.” - Earmilk "A full-circle moment...a sense of maturity" - FLOOD

The band is excited to fill seats again on tour this fall, following a previous sold-out run. Listen / Share: Heatherhead

In an age that demands constant content churn from artists, Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have stubbornly stuck to quietly refining their own signature sound, resulting in what could be considered the band’s thesis statement - persevering through scrapped sessions, tornados and the pandemic. From "When They Fight, They Fight" on their 2009 "delectable debut" (T: The New York Times Style Magazine) to this album, Generationals have maintained their mastery of immediate and memorable songs. Having worked before with legends like Richard Swift, the New Orleans-born duo this time teamed up Nick Krill and welcomed in collaborators Small Black, Seth Kaufman (Floating Action) and Jonny Campos (Lost Bayou Ramblers), among others - even a wrong number voicemail sampled on “Strangers.” When a severe storm ripped through Widmer’s front yard during the recording of Heatherhead and left them without power for days during recording, the two just sat together, drinking warm beer and listening to an emergency radio. These 11 songs similarly feel conversational and lived-in - as effortless, endearing and settling as a long hug from an old friend. They are no-fuss, no-filler manifestations of Generationals’ bittersweet beauty, of would-be rock anthems made to feel like cozy sweaters. The record at large digs deeper into the juxtapositions that have long made the band so compelling: soft but pointed, dry but warm, distinct but familiar. It may just be their best yet.
