Your Grandparents are fascinated with time. It can neither be created nor killed; there’s never enough of it, but it can stretch on forever. Time is a form of currency that can be saved, spent, and gambled away. “I think time is a circle, infinitely repeating itself,” says producer Cole Thompson. “And there’s a bunch of smaller circles within the larger one. Everything we experience is cyclical in the micro and macro.”
On their drink sum wtr debut The Dial, the Los Angeles trio — producer Cole Thompson & vocalists DaCosta & Jean Carter — deeply consider these disparate ideas. The record works as a meditation on time, but posits that in order to truly grasp the concept and all of its ambient qualities one must remain rooted in the present. They seemed to snatch their genre agnostic but hip-hop-rooted songs from the cosmos, seizing on a moment of inspiration and proceeding in a stream of consciousness. “We’d link up in the studio, and whatever anyone experienced in a week is what ended up on the track,” says Thompson.
Your Grandparents’ songs are big-hearted and welcoming, filled with the wide-eyed wonder of youth and the sobering wisdom of aging. They’re writing about the ethereality of it all, the moments that contour your existence, the things you’ll look back on when doing that final assessment. The Dial is a beautiful empathetic piece of work that understands the contexts from which it came and builds upon them, walking that fine line between contemporary & timeless.
