“A sense of sincerity, wonder, and poetry beats at the heart of skewed folk-pop songs… “
- The Boston Globe

- AV CLUB

its songs are doses of melodic sunshine
- Portland Press Herald

“ …so genuine in its simple emotion that you can't help but embrace it.”
- Boston Weekly Dig

Four years and five national tours since the release of their last album, The Grownup Noise’s latest record, This Time With Feeling, has definitely proven itself to be worth the wait. Carefully blending elements of pop, folk and rock, the band bridges the gap between indie and Americana. The record was mixed in North Carolina by studio masterScott Solter (Spoon, Okkervil River). Fusing tranquil lyrics and harmonies with an assortment of orchestrated flourishes including cellos, pianos and accordions, all five members of The Grownup Noise are multi-instrumentalists.

The album opens with “Strawmen,” a lush arrangement that evokes feelings of peace and clarity. “Carnival” lifts the tempo with a powerful folk-rock hook and lyrics that tell the tale of a magical love. The playful “Six Foot Solemn Oath” immediately launches into a duet lead by intertwining piano and strings. Sorrowful lead single “The Artist Type” boasts an irresistible melody, expertly uniting gentle string arrangements and booming piano.

Check out the video for album track “So It Goes” where it premiered on CMJ or here. Feel free to post and share this dreamy new video & catch them live in your city!
