Brooke never made the late-night circuit, though; he left Band of Horses as their popularity was peaking in the summer of 2006 to found his own project later that year, first called Archives and, after some time, the <i>Grand</i> Archives. Surrounding himself with other likeminded Seattle musicians including multi-instrumentalist and former Jogger Ron Lewis and co-vocalist Jeff Montano, Brooke and the band went to work on recordings that appeared first on their MySpace page in March 2007. Online indie rock tastemakers at Pitchfork gave it a thumbs up, lauding the Grand Archives' singles and demos and announcing the band's label deal with SubPop in March 2007. Early in 2008, their self-titled debut appeared on SubPop. - Nate CavalieriPost-Modern Popen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:55:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.18670688&rws=%2Fgrand-archives%2Fdiscography.rss The Grand Archives frontman Mat Brooke first stumbled into the national spotlight as half the brains behind Band of Horses, a Seattle indie band founded by Brooke and Ben Birdwell that went from blog darlings to Letterman guests in a harmony-drenched heartbeat.
