The Grimm Generation

Issue #147 Jul. '11

It’s the end of the world. They’re gone. It’s over. Nothing left to do but shut the door, turn up the music, and sing/dance/cry our heart out. How many times have we done this before? How many times will we do it again? Never – so we say. This is, The Last Record Party. As we know it.

They call their music “Post Apocalyptic Pop,” but the Apocalypse that Jason P. Krug (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Carmen Champagne (vocals, lyrics) sing about as The Grimm Generation, is not about the end of the world as we know it, but the end of our world as we knew it. Let’s face it, nothing destroys our world more than love, as anyone who has experience love, loss, lust, longing, heartache, heartbreak, heartfelt emotions, devotions, and everything else that goes along with it can attest. How many times has love led to the end of your world? From young hormonal teens, right up through matured adults, there are too many ways to count the disassembling of our emotions and the destruction of our world.

The Last Record Party flat out exposes the fallout of the melted core of our love reactor. Hugely ambitious, this 18 song album collects as many overwrought sentiments as the entire breadth of the dark seamy side of love and its influence can conjure, not only on the inner-workings of our minds/emotions, but also on the actions and results/consequences they lead to. Jason, knowing the strengths of the people he has played with, assembled a cracker-jack outfit of ace musicians to pair his Post-Pop music arrangements perfectly with Carmen’s smoky, gravelly Marlene Dietrich style vocals and their tragically truthful lyrics.

On a whole, this work of life-long experience(s) cries out for a dissertation to break down, analyze, and draw conclusions that would be epically mind-blowing in the fact that they would still leave open too many areas which would still cry out for a dissertation, to break down, analyze, and draw even more conclusions… - I’ll stop right there, while stating that in reference to the album, I could say that for each individual song as well. Each song a mini-soap opera of its own, when assembled as a whole, becomes but 18 episodes in the continuing story of our love apocalypse, all played out of our hearts through the stereo.

“Shimmy and shake / stutter and break / Leave it all / on the dance floor.”

It’s the end of the world, as we know it.
Nothing left to do but shut the door, turn up The Last Record Party by The Grimm Generation, and sing/dance/cry our heart out.
(and I feel fine).
