The new @grumpyismyleastfavoriteband is out today. I was lucky enough to come in near the end of the record to do some additional recording on tracks OBL, yr bitch, The Whale, Last of Your Kind, George Clanton, Solicitor’s Rights, Twentyfive, and Queens. It’s hard to pick a favorite. Catching a window into the process and attitude of the band showed me how much humility talented people can have. The fluidity and cohesion of six different people working together where members are just as likely to track together in the same room as they are to airdrop something from laptop to laptop feels exciting and modern. I’m grateful for how welcoming and fun the atmosphere while still having an immense sense of purpose. Heaven, Diego, Anya, Ellie, Lane, and Austin are all great and talented people and I’m proud of what they managed to put together for this album. Lila did some amazing fiddle recording with us too. Also! A special shoutout to Katie and Bayonet for having the good brains to platform people that work their ass off and have something to say, and to Rob and Eamon at Living Rooms Studio for hosting. I’m glad these songs have their time in the sun.

UNFINDABLE RING is found! It is out, go listen wherever you listen, and ideally Front->Back. U.R. is an “adventure”, carefully threaded together to taste.
I play software synths and sound design (a lot of the grating, dissonant, field-recorded stuff) and a little cello and piano. Lane also played synth and piano, so anything played more tastefully and beautifully is likely her. My cleanest contribution is probably the piano on Queens.
I am so proud of this band. Heaven, Diego, Ellie, Austin, Lane. Everyone’s voices are clear on this thing, and it wouldn’t be half the record without any one member.
Front cover breakdown soon, but today I’m getting into the back cover. This was my original idea for the front, and I talked Heaven into keeping it in the packaging as the back of the LP. Since the art direction for this series was a kind of junkyard iSpy kid’s magazine world, we needed a treasure map somewhere. Heaven is a cool tattoo guy so I thought… “What if the Grumpy character had a big swaggy treasure map hand tat so they never lost the map on their grueling journey?”
The design is credited to “Good&Dunn” because my partner Aminta drew the treasure map in pencil and I converted it into a hand tat. They also kept me going with feedback, encouragement and shoulder rubs through every piece of art.
The hand-triumphantly-emerging-with-found-ring was originally going to rise out of water, but there were already too many maritime images & a desert-y landscape rounded out Grumpy’s travels. The sand is from a pic I took of Diego at some dunes on tour out west.
Another big inspiration this cycle was the lighting and perspective of the museum of natural history dioramas.
The ring is all the shiny jewelry I had lying around, collaged and swirled to show its unfindable-ness folding the universe in on itself. Each track title got its own little stretchy treatment. I’ve attached a pic of my desk on the final day all art was due. Note how it looks similar to the pile of junk in the art.
I wanna thank our amazing label @bayonetrecords . Katie, Sam, Evan, you guys are the wind in our sails. Hope all youse enjoy these songs half as much as we enjoyed making em.
xo - anya !!

‘Unfindable Ring’, the debut LP from @grumpyismyleastfavoriteband , is out now.

After releasing two EP’s, “Wolfed” and “Piebald”, we’ve made it to the big thing, and we couldn’t be more proud to be apart of it all. Grumpy, a band of six (5 of whom are ex’s and 5 of whom are trans), worked tirelessly on this project and you can hear it. The texture, the witty and emotional lyricism, the genre defiance - it’s all there intentionally as apart of a bigger story.

These band mates have built the trust in one another to take risks in every way. It gives a greater sense of hope in the long winding path of relationships and collaboration, & in the relationship to ourselves and our community.
