Grandaddy, the indie rock band known for blending lo-fi and space rock, has returned with their latest album, "Blu Wav." Formed in 1992 in Modesto, California, the band gained a cult following in the late 90s and early 2000s with albums like "Under the Western Freeway" and "The Sophtware Slump," known for their introspective lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes. Following a hiatus after the release of their 2006 album "Just Like the Fambly Cat," the band reunited in 2012 for a series of live shows before embarking on creating "Blu Wav," their first studio album in over a decade. Recorded in their studio in Modesto, the album features frontman Jason Lytle's signature introspective lyrics and the band's unique blend of lo-fi and electronic elements. But is it worth your time? Let's dig into what the critics think.
