PRODUCT DETAILS
For the majority of the last decade and change, Los Angeles's own Grand Canyon has been resonating with music fans all over the world with their smart, warm and undeniably California pop sound.And on their forthcoming third LP, Forevermore, the band dig even deeper into their West Coast roots with an album that call back to both The Byrds and Full Moon Fever-era Tom Petty with an approach similar to the way The War On Drugs riffs on Dire Straits and Bruce Hornsby."For the record we really wanted to feature the electric and acoustic 12-string guitar," explains guitarist Joe Guese. "We felt with all everyone has been through the past few years, people could use that uplifting jingle-jangle sound, so synonymous with our California musical heroes."One song that is exemplifies the jingle in their jangle on Forevermore is the album's title track, which Rock & Roll Globe is honored to premiere today on the site."'Forevermore' has gone through six+ iterations since we started writing it six years ago," Guese explains. "It's a song about keeping the faith when things get rough and getting to this release is also the result of sticking by this song through ups and downs. So it's life imitating art imitating life. We recorded the song six times in six different studios. We finally decided to try recording it ourselves in [singer-guitarist] Casey [Shea]'s garage and finally got the song down. I guess it just took a little inspiration from Full Moon Fever (also recorded in a garage) and being around a bunch of kids' bikes."At the same time, however, the tune reflects upon the diverse layers of emotions that are associated with the feeling of love."'Forevermore' is about love that weathers storms, that lasts," he reveals. "There's a lot of cynicism out there about love. We wanted to counter that-and also write a great summer road-tripping tune. The original inspiration came from sitting in Casey's home studio which has several classic vinyl records hung on the wall. We found inspiration with lyrics and music by looking at some of the greats that have inspired us. I'd also say with the lyrics we were very inspired at the time and for this record with the kind of confidence Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen seem to sing with. We've also been enjoying very much Dylan's biblical allusions and themes that he has dealt with so much throughout his career."

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
