Cult indie rock band Grandaddy (whose new LP Blu Wav will be out this Friday already) shared a new music video for “Long as I’m Not the One”, created and directed by auteur Aaron Beckham.
Inspired by old Hollywood and the Three Amigos, the visuals follow the story of a lonely cowboy. It is accompanied by the heartbreak ballad that exemplifies Grandaddy’s distinctive mixture of indie rock, lo-fi aesthetics, and introspective lyricism.

Cult indie rock band Grandaddy, who will have their much-anticipated new record Blu Wav out very soon (February 16 via Dangerbird Records), shared a final preview of it titled “Long as I’m Not the One”.
This heartbreak ballad is a true standout piece that exemplifies Grandaddy’s distinctive mixture of indie rock, lo-fi aesthetics, and introspective lyricism. It is a compelling exploration of the human condition in the digital age and frontman Jason Lytle said the following regarding the song’s meaning:
“While the lyrics arrived early and remained mostly unchanged, I ended up recording two or three other versions of this song and just couldn’t get it right. Too folky and/or too country was the culprit. Luckily, I hung in there and settled on this rendition. Just enough shine and dirt. Just enough modern and vintage. I’m still confused as to what it is, but that’s pretty normal for me”.

Cult indie rock band Grandaddy, who recently announced their much-anticipated new record Blu Wav (due out February 16 via Dangerbird Records), shared a new single “Cabin in My Mind”.
Released alongside a music video, it is a true melancholic earworm and frontman Jason Lytle said the following regarding the song’s meaning:
“A while back I was travelling with a friend, doing some shows and just riffing, and he came up with this phrase. It made so much sense to me and had so many things just within the title itself: shutting off and just, like, going inward. It’s fun to imagine literally a cabin inside your mind. ‘I’m out of here, see ya, guys’ and you walk in the front door, shut the door and disappear for a while.’ It was perfect like an old country song where the title says everything. I remembered the phrase, and it was easy for me to pick it up and just make it work”.
