Modesto, CA's influential indie-rock group Grandaddy celebrates the 20th-anniversary of their classic second LP, 2000's The Sophtware Slump with a brand-new solo piano recording of the album by principal songwriter Jason Lytle . The candid arrangements reveal new layers of meaning embedded in The Sophtware Slump's melancholy and touching vision of the future. With a meticulous yet scruffy sound that continues to draw comparisons to a post-millennial OK Computer - and which Pitchfork called a "sad, quaint, low-key Y2K-era classic" - T he Sophtware Slump , now heard as a solo piano album, is a chance to let the songwriting shine. This is not a record made up of demos or rough sketches; it is a shadow sibling to a record that inspired a generation in the earliest days of the 21st century.
