Brad further demonstrate a propensity for musical comfort food, '70s rock style, on their warm-sounding, soul-infused third album. Welcome to Discovery Park is a funny title for this recording, since there's actually little to uncover here. If you've listened to the radio since 1970, you can anticipate chord progressions and guitar solos. But the classic-rock textbook sounds just fine in Brad's hands, especially with production assistance from Phil Nicolo of the Butcher Brothers. While not as inventive as works by Wellwater Conspiracy (another retro-minded Seattle outfit) or Queens of the Stone Age, Discovery Park is not without its charms. Set highlight "La, La, La" is a warm blast of soulful pop-rock that is sure to keep fans of Urge Overkill and Grand Funk Railroad smiling for days. --Mike McGonigal
Product Description
Seattle-based rock band Brad delivers a career-defining artistic triumph with its third album. "Welcome to Discovery Park" finds one of music's most soulful and musically elegant bands kicking up a storm of funky garage rock grooves one minute and glorious, irresistibly catchy pop melodies the next. Brad's core members Shawn Smith, Stone Gossard, Regan Hagar, and Mike Berg invited multi-instrumentalists Thaddeus Turner, Jeremy Toback and percussionist Elizabeth Pupo-Walker to add their own flourishes in the studio. The album is produced by Brad, with additional production and mixing by Phil Nicolo of the Butcher Brothers production team. Brad's first two albums, "Shame" (Epic, 1993) and "Interiors" (Epic, 1997), caught the ears of fans and critics around the world. Brad's devoted fanbase eagerly awaits "Welcome to Discovery Park," and they will not be disappointed by, arguably, Brad's best record to date.
