Name: Nebraska (2025 Version) by Grumbeaux
Duration: 5 min 32 s
Description: Plant something simple in the dirt, like acoustic guitar and voice, and see what clambers out, and what swarm of biota clings to it, each protist adding its own puny but inexhaustible voice.

A mixture of old folk-inflected material that sounds punk, prog, garage, goth and rock, all at once.

SPIN: “Sounds like Calvin Johnson and Primus got together to pay homage to the late Kris Kristofferson by deconstructing his signature song and rebuilding it with viscera to spare.”

Bobby McGee (2024 Version)

“Real cool concept; fantastic musicianship; the best ideas punk, jazz and folk have to offer; all wrapped up in emotionally impactful songs.” --Mark Blewett, BOSE.

Grumbeaux is what you ate for dinner last night; it’s what stuck to your mother’s sole in the parking lot of Kohl’s; it’s the sound your grandfather makes when his false teeth pop out; it’s the elephant in the room and the lion that keeps you awake at night.
