Only cooler." - The FADER "Plastic Cough echoes with loose meandering, jangly/angular guitar and ragged vocal harmonies, but upholding it all is attention to craft and accessibility. You can hear it clearly in the album’s quieter moments, which are many. These are skilled musicians making music that’s blatantly fun but also surprisingly subtle." - City Arts Magazine "[Teen Challenge is] a definitive example of everything that Great Grandpa does best: savvy, self-aware, and full of surprising musical moments that will keep listeners guessing throughout." - KEXP (SONG OF THE DAY) " ...the Seattle quintet’s most compelling moment to-date, the head-rush of lyrics meeting those seismic guitars in a glorious splash of colour that breathes life in to whichever space it happens to be found and consumed. Wild, wordy, and utterly wonderful. - Gold Flake Paint "[Fade is] is a three-minute slice of indie pop perfection. The undercurrents of garage rock give it a subtle infusion of snarl, as though they’re winking at the sonic mayhem they’re capable of unleashing if they want." - The Revue // “Plastic Cough” recorded from April – September 2016. Recorded at Hall of Justice, Electric Wall, and Tastefully Loud by Dylan Wall in Seattle, WA. Additional recording at The Wormhole, Goodwin House, and Cat Parrie’s apartment by Pat Goodwin and Dylan Hanwright. Mixed by John Goodmanson. Mastered by Paul Gold of Salt Mastering.

Led by Alex Menne, the Seattle band comes out with a solid debut of anxious bubblegum grunge, though its many charms also become its few flaws.
