Gosh. Apparently Grandaddy singer, songwriter, and non-ironic trucker hat-wearer Jason Lytle wasn't finally killed off by one of the many robots that he talked shit about during his band's shaky tenure as one of indie rock's last major label hope! In fact, you may recall that, after poor ol' Grandaddy went the way of the ol’ fambly cat back in 2005, little Lytle toured in support of final album Just Like the Fambly Cat (TMT Review) all by himself.

Nope. Darned if Lytle (the very same man responsible for asking us to imagine forest glens littered with ovens and refrigerators and mentally-challenged pilots refusing to land their air planes because they feel unloved by society, mind you) isn’t still out there, apparently huddled-up in the mountains of Montana skateboarding, licensing music for the only the trippiest of car commercials, and recording his every blip-psych whim at his own mellow, West Coast pace.

I know, he’s not exactly Thoreau, but still... sounds romantic, doesn’t it? Well, we’ll find out together come May 19, oh ye Grandaddy faithful, when ANTI- sees fit to release Lytle’s solo debut, Yours Truly, the Commuter. And if you’re tickled by how “Grandaddy” the title of the thing sounds, just wait until you see this tracklist. I’ll bet my vintage synths that “This Song is the Mute Button” will play-out just like it sounds it will. Any takers?

Yours Truly, the Commuter tracklist:

1. Yours Truly, the Commuter
2. Brand New Sun
3. Ghost of My Old Dog
4. I Am Lost (And the Moment Cannot Last)
5. Birds Encouraged Him
