Recorded in Los Angeles and
Seattle with producers Captain Cuts (Grouplove's own Ryan Rabin) and
Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, The Shins), Big Mess
features the signature anthemic choruses and infectious hooks that
first brought the Los Angeles quintet to prominence.No stranger to the
worldwide festival circuit, Grouplove has made an album that brilliantly
showcases their richly narrated songs with elaborate production.
Grouplove
was honored by the Recording Industry Association of America last month
when tracks "Colours" and "Ways To Go" were both certified as Gold
Digital Singles for exceeding 500,000 units sold. Established in 1958 to
honor artists and track recording sales, the RIAA's Gold Award has come
to stand as a benchmark of success in the recorded music industry.
Grouplove was previously honored by the RIAA when their breakout single
"Tongue Tied" was certified platinum for exceeding 1,000,000 units
sold.
This fall, Grouplove will embark on their Big Mess World Tour. One dollar for every ticket sold will be donated to the organization charity: water
to help fund water projects like drilled wells, spring protections, and
BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the
world. More info can be found here:https://my.charitywater.org/grouplove/tour. Muna and Dilly Dally will support on select U.S. shows. Please see below for Grouplove's upcoming tour dates:

Grouplove first came together in 2009 and
were quickly hailed for their standout live performances, both as
headliners and at such international festivals as Coachella, Bonnaroo,
Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading + Leeds Festivals, and
Glastonbury. A year after releasing a self-titled EP in 2010, the band
returned with their debut full length "NEVER TRUST A HAPPY SONG"
featuring a trio of breakout singles - "Colours," "Itchin' On A
Photograph," and the RIAA-certified platinum hit "Tongue Tied" which
spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Alternative radio chart. The
quintet's second full length album - 2013's "SPREADING RUMOURS" - was
met with a raft of acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, USA Today,
Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Times, NYLON, and National Public
Radio who called it "ludicrously easy to love." As with all of
Grouplove's recorded material, the collection was produced by the band's
own Ryan Rabin, and was highlighted by singles "Ways To Go" and "Shark
Attack." In 2014, Grouplove contributed the original song "Let Me In"
to "The Fault in Our Stars - Music From the Motion Picture," the
musical companion to the blockbuster film based on The New York Times
bestseller. That same year, the band was tapped to create the theme song
to the Netflix Original Series "BoJack Horseman." Last year,
vocalist/keyboardist Hannah Hooper collaborated with Volcom for a Lady
Grouplove capsule collection of clothing inspired by her personal style
and artwork.
Grouplove is: Christian Zucconi (vocals,
guitar), Hannah Hooper (vocals, keys), Andrew Wessen (guitar, vocals),
Ryan Rabin (drums), and Daniel Gleason (bass).
