Mar 28, 2025God only knows if Great Grandpa will ever top Patience, Moonbeam. For now, let's cherish it. After all, with this album, they've proven you can't rush greatness.

Mar 28, 2025In putting out yet another accomplished record, Great Grandpa prove that neither time nor space can keep them from doing what they always do.

Apr 1, 2025Album highlight “Ladybug” opens with a trip-hoppy buzz that falls into a swirling mix of a dancing piano and mountaintop-high vocals. (Even the soft popping of the interlude “Kiss the Dice” has its place.) Balancing out these turns are softer, more gracious tracks, yet ones that are no less rewarding. Vital to this success are Menne and Goodwin’s vocals, which have never sounded so assured.

Mar 28, 2025Patience, Moonbeam is a strong record, but it also makes me wonder what Great Grandpa may have in store for the future now that they’ve got their feet back under them.
