Doors 7:30pm
Show 8:00pm GENERATIONALS
From their inception Generationals have existed at the convergence of
classic style and contemporary technique. Students of an analog school
actualized in a digital medium, Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner have
always felt most comfortable reveling in this juxtaposition. Grounded
in a catalog of infectious pop hooks that feel both familiar and
radically new all at once, Generationals mastered their distinct voice
as a means to widen the path before them.
Reader As Detective, their new full-length album, weds vintage pop
canon and modern pop production in a way this duo has proven
incomparably adept. From the cornerstone sample of “I Turned My Back
on the Written Word,” (a recontextualization of an unreleased
b-side) to the playful synths & stuttered drums of “Dream Box,”
and jogging rhythms of "Breaking Your Silence," Generationals continue
to push the envelope by playing by their own rules.
In the years following their last album, Alix, the band experimented
by releasing one-off singles and videos immediately upon their
completion, which eventually formed 2018’s State Dogs collection.
This method – an exploratory dive in shirking the nature of
traditional album rollouts – refined how they approached writing.
Freed from the album-cycle mentality, the pair was able to focus on
each track autonomously, rather than as a fragment of a larger batch
of songs.
Reader As Detective is the result of purposeful time spent honing
Generationals’ craft as progressive songwriters. With the help of
producer and longtime collaborator Dan Black, they dug into new
methods of creation with a fearlessness for experimentation that is
equally vital to the experience of both artist and listener. With
Reader As Detective, Generationals have reached a high-water mark in
an already noteworthy career – isolation and celebration set to a
major key.
