Great Grandpa announce their new album, Patience, Moonbeam

Great Grandpa announce their new album, Patience, Moonbeam, will arrive on March 28th via Run For Cover Records. Ahead of the LP’s release, the group has shared single, “Junior.” The band will be touring in 2025 behind Patience, Moonbeam, with stops in Washington, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and more.

There was a moment in the fall of 2021 when Great Grandpa didn’t know if they would go on. They had just begun work on the follow-up to Four of Arrows when they met a moment of reckoning. Each member was being called in new directions. Al Menne moved to LA and made a solo album. Dylan Hanwright got married and began producing for other bands. Cam LaFlam started selling books, later opening up his own bookstore. Pat and Carrie Goodwin moved to Denmark and had a baby. But as with any good relationship built on mutual love, trust, and a mountain of shared history, the quintet—who grew up in Seattle and have been making music together for a decade—were drawn back into one another’s orbits in 2023. After reconnecting, the band decided to scrap most of what they had previously recorded and start afresh.

With Patience, Moonbeam, Great Grandpa has made an album of what happens when your collaborators become your chosen family. When you make the decision to return to each other even after the winds of change have taken you apart. When you find that growing up and out in different directions only brings you closer together. “We’re all like individual swinging pendulums,” says Dylan, “and every now and then we come into sync for a few rotations. Sometimes it’s two of us, sometimes three of us, often it’s not any of us. But when it does come together, it’s really beautiful.”
