Great Grandpa presented a new single, “Doom,” via Run For Cover Records, and announce their first tour in 5 years. Great Grandpa recently made their return with the gorgeous track “Kid,” and Doom” is another cathartic entry in the band’s beloved catalog. Penned by Pat Goodwin soon after the release of 2019’s acclaimed Four of Arrows, the song swirled in the band’s consciousness, taking on many iterations before being officially recorded in 2024. “Doom,” produced by guitarist/engineer Dylan Hanwright and Goodwin, is the bands’ first self-produced track since 2017’s Plastic Cough. It sees the band at the furthest end of their prog/math-rock spectrum — at times embracing the odd time signatures and heavy electric guitar of their early years while expanding on the dark, knotty chamber-folk of Four of Arrows.
