The vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Ted Joyner and?Grant Widmer received much critical praise for coupling lo-fi texture with modern electronic special effects in their debut album Con Law (2009).? Their hook-filled, 60s pop influence was obvious in ?When They Fight, They Fight? from Con Law.? Their songs are layered with honest and clever lyrics and clear dancibility, leading to airplay by college radio stations, commercials, TV shows, and films.
?
Generationals? most recent LP, Actor-Caster (2011), urges you to keep clapping your hands with the tunes ?Ten-Twenty-Ten? and ?I Promise.? The upbeat melodies are contrasted with the unhurried earnest of ?Black and White.? In this comforting ballad, the vocals insist ?everyday is not a fight, you don?t have to see yourself in black and white.? In the infectious ?Goose and Gander,? post-breakup frustration resonates in their words ?it won?t get better ?til you leave me alone.?
?
Generationals deliver moments of melancholy and optimism in a style that fans of The Shins, Of Montreal, Animal Collective, Best Coast, and Sleigh Bells will appreciate at their live performance this Sunday you won?t want to miss.
