Search - Great Peacock :: Gran Pavo Real

The sophomore project from Andrew Nelson and Blount Floyd finds the Nashville by way of Alabama pair honing the songwriting process. The songs start with Andrew, a prolific student of the human condition, writing lyrics and bringing them to Blount for feedback and polish. The band is pure, recording the full album in a near-live scenario in Nashville, to capture a solid group feel. Call it rock, call it alt-country, call it the blues, or call it pop - an important element of this music is its self-reflection. While the songs transform the human condition to a positive assimilation of sounds, the lyrics speak of real life and feelings with a certain lament about the destiny of it all. This is the challenge that Great Peacock accepts with songs like 'Begging To Stay' and 'Hideaway'. You will hear fragments of reference for a moment, from Dispatch to Ryan Adams, but the sound always comes right back to being distinctly Great Peacock.
