The
third installment in the continuing musical evolution of the Grip Weeds. With
13 originals and one cover of (“Melancholia” by Pete Townshend), “their
third album invokes vintage recordings by the Move or the Who, pitched at the
mythical moment where pure pop struggled with the onset of rock, a self-styled
“serious” music about to break the three-minute barrier... the title
track is the kind of slow-burning, snake-charming, psychedelic vamp nobody writes
anymore, and maybe never did.” -London Sunday Times “Summer of a Thousand
Years is one of the best albums you’ll hear this year, from one of the most
capable and dedicated bands you’ll hear in your lifetime.” -Amplifier
Includes "Is It Showing" as heard on
Q104.3's "Out
of the Box" show with Jonathan Clarke- best of 2002!
