The Grand Idea…

Three singles from the band's new album have already made their debut

to the public, being met with what Griffen and Palo assume to be good
reactions.

“We are going to be releasing an album over the summer called ‘The
Grand Idea.’” ‘Hold Me,’ ‘Penelope,’ and ‘I'll See You in Dreams’ are
already available on streaming services, and they’re a bit different from
what we've made in the past,” Griffen revealed. “Everything we've put out
is a bit more bubble-gummy. ‘The Grand Idea’ is more serious -- a little
less indie-pop influenced, a bit more rock and jazz-influenced.”

The pandemic made the band look at their music through a different lens
and take note of how they wanted to truly feel coming off a stage after
performing their music to the public.

“We had to take about a year off from playing after the pandemic hit, and
it made me realize two things: I wasn’t very happy with myself, and I
wasn’t particularly happy with how the music misrepresented how I was
feeling,” explained Griffen. “I didn't want to keep writing stuff that didn't
feel super authentic. It was a matter of trying to figure out what I wanted
the project to be. It helped me realize that I wanted to focus more on
songwriting rather than the musicality of it all, which is what I've always
preferred.”

Watch for the release of Blue Rain Boots new album that will be setting
up our playlists for the summer, “The Grand Idea,” and listen to Eye on
Jamz, ION Indie Magazine’s very own globally syndicated radio show, to
