The Grenadines by The Grenadines

Fronted by husband and wife Michael and Lauren Shackelford and thrust into widescreen by guitarist David Swatzell, The Grenadines made a name for themselves in underground circles, thanks to both a sumptuous live show and the praise from producers such as Andy LeMaster (Bright Eyes, Now It’s Overhead), Jim Eno {Spoon} and Lynn Bridges– all of whom have produced tracks for the band.

The Grenadines self-titled debut is pure dream-drenched rock and roll cut through a southern lens. The lead track “Shake” (produced by Jeffrey Cain – Remy Zero, The Great Book of John, Isidore ) is a taut and slinky disco duet perfect for your Indian Summer dance party. This band tells their tale with a wide spectrum of sounds creating haunting orchestrations and contagious melodies that stick to the subconscious like a recurring dream.

“… a psychedelic rock and roll trip” - NPR.

Touring with acts such as Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley, Jenny and Johnny), Bear in Heaven, White Denim, Maria Taylor, and Orenda Fink (Azure Ray), allows for a confident resume.

“The ominous and haunting vocals, groovy vibe, and depiction of an entranced dance loving stalker put this video somewhere between Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Helen Reddy’s “Angie Baby.”

“This is a great rock record that will keep you moving the entire listen through.” – The Aquarian Weekly
