The Grindylow are broken up now but we're releasing unheard back catalog stuff to keep the love lights burning.

Bandcamp Friday is the 6th, and all proceeds go to the artist, so pick up a digital copy of "Crow's Feet" and rock out.

It's a 10+ years old, shelved release that features Kirk Jameson on the skins! 4 songs and a whole lotta heart. Recorded in Georgetown - Seattle's best neighborhood for all things art at the famous Killroom with our buddy Greedy Greg. 💜

Stay tuned for more Grindylow archives. Cheers. -Brent

Hey. Check it out! We re-released one of our older EPs on Lithic Records' bandcamp. Digital release only.... (link in comments). Hope you like it. Here's a little more info:

"This is a re-release of a 4 EP that never quite saw the light of day. We were lucky to have Kirk Jameson in the band for a short run and this was the only offering we recorded with him at the throne.

All four tracks were recorded live (except vocals were overdubbed) in one day.... AND.... only one guitar was tracked. With multiple mics mind you, but no overdubbed guitars whatsoever. Turned out great.

Greg Williamson recorded and mixed this beast at Killroom in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.

Thanks for listening. -Brent"

Here's some news from Lithic Records... just bought this amazing painting from my buddy Arran McInnis. is his insta-handle.. look him up. He's an amazing artist, musician, and a big proponent of heaviness and psychedelia!

The painting will be featured cover art (and insert art) for an upcoming noise/ambient/experimental release. It's going to be a compilation of local audio agitators. A challenging listen to put it lightly.

We're incredibly excited to make this project happen and currently looking for submissions. If you're interested or have any thoughts to pass on. We're all ears. More info soon...
