Generationals - Reader As Detective

Limited 180gm colored vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. 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 and stuttered drums of "Dream Box," and jogging rhythms of "Breaking Your Silence," Generationals continue to push the envelope by playing by their own rules.
