Through continually refining and maturing their vision as a band, Grails have stumbled upon a reprogramming of their internal logic – and come out the other side with a new defining statement”. Zum bislang ausgekoppelten “Sad & Illegal” sagt Drummer Amos: “After a band has existed for 20 years, there are things you’ve always wanted to try on the back burner that you’ve never had the room to approach. We all have a bizarre lust to try and not sound like ourselves at times… which is usually the first and last thing you fail at. But with ‘Sad & Illegal’ maybe Grails got a little closer to getting outside ourselves. There are emotions represented in film music that just aren’t things one experiences in a normal day. Like the immense suspicion baked into music from a repelling scene in a diamond heist film… the way the hi-hat simmers, the filthy fretless bass and an out of tune piano that skitters around the beat.

This is the dimension where Sad & Illegal was born in… out of a sense-memory we never got to experience, but that film music told us was real.” Kurz darauf kommen Grails für eine ausgedehnte Tour nach Europa, bei der – siehe Flyer – mit Berlin, Hamburg, Bocum, Linz und Wien auch eine Handvoll Adressen im deutschsprachigen Raum auf dem Programm stehen. Das Album erscheint in zwei Vinyl-Editionen und in den gängigen digitalen Formaten bei Temporary Residence.
