...Hang Around (Granian...
...Since the release of their debut album Without Change in 1996, the indie rock band Granian has been continually on the move, at some times playing over 15 shows a month on their whirlwind tour. Granian's hectic tour schedule and the year that they spent in the recording studio have led to one major result: the release of a sophomore album that represents Granian in top form...
...Hang Around is one of those albums in which you can easily lose yourself. While every track harnesses Granian's unique, laid-back style, each has a distinguishing personality, avoiding one of the major downfalls of up and coming bands-what could be dubbed "the CD of one song." Instead, the band uses the variety of songs to showcase lead singer Garen Gueyikian's incredibly wide-ranging voice and a never-ending variety of solid drum rhythms. Personal favorites include "Far From Saved" and the title track, which picks up the very live-sounding tempo of this album...
...Granian is truly making a name for itself and this album comes highly recommended, especially as a first introduction to Granian. For those of you who are into live music, there may even be a chance of spotting the band itself in the very near future somewhere in Cambridge. A -Laura Dichtel
