Swinging in to soothe our authoritarian end of days nightmares is “Songs For The Sleeping”, the highly anticipated 5th album by Boston based The Grand Undoing, a rotating collective of players anchored by founder, lead vocalist, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter Seth Goodman.

Borrowing inspiration from a diverse record collection, including Scott Walker, The Damned, The Cars, The Bee Gees, Procol Harem, Stiff Little Fingers, The Zombies, The Everly Brothers, and countless others, Goodman deconstructs and reconstructs his way into a sonic space beyond the past, present, and future with inspired arrangements, moving lyrics, and delightful surprises, all woven together with a dazzling studio sheen. It is clearly a contender for rock record of the year.

The 1st single from “Songs For The Sleeping” is the laid back, neo psychedelic anthem, “Aventurine”, available today, January 29th, 2026. “Aventurine” is a study in both how big and how small we are at the same time. There’s a bit of floating in helplessness, or disconnecting from one’s own power in lines like “the sergeant at arms is wasted and sleeping”. Standing in stark contrast, are lines that allude to our infiniteness like “we’ve been in the world for a hundred million years” and “form is the form of the formless”.

“Juxtaposing both ends of that spectrum to a very groovy drumbeat, brought the whole song together in a really interesting way for me”, says Goodman. The “Songs For the Sleeping” album, on Secret Candy Rock Records, will be available March 14th, 2026, everywhere you buy or stream your music.
