The Grownup Noise

This Time With Feeling
CMJ Premieres The Grownup Noise’s New “So It Goes”!
West Coast Tour Dates Through August

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 master Scott 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.
