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 2nd single from “Songs For The Sleeping”, out on February 23rd, 2026, is the hook laden, evening anthem “Creature”. “This song touches on lots of things”, says Goodman, “from cats acquired during the pandemic to one of my favorite movies, Paolo Sorrentino’s 'The Great Beauty'. Ultimately, it’s a call to live in the moment”.
The album, “Songs For The Sleeping”, on Secret Candy Rock Records, will be available on March 14th everywhere you buy and stream your music.
