GRANDADDY have re-formed, returning a decade after their 2006 split, with a new album and British tour next month.

Last Place will be released on 30th Century Records on March 3 and their nine-date itinerary will take in Leeds Irish Centre on March 27: their only Yorkshire show.

After Grandaddy broke up, band leader Jason Lytle relocated to Montana, where he "happily made two solo albums and reconnected with the natural world around him". Eventually, however, life uprooted him again, taking him to Portland, Oregon until he eventually returned to his former home of Modesto, California.

This move was practical – he needed to be near his bandmates – but also appropriate: he had started writing songs that he felt would be fitting for another Grandaddy album.

The result, Last Place, is a "symphonic swirl of lo-fi sonics and mile-high harmonies, found sounds and electronics-gone-awry, mingling with perfect, power-pop guitar tones. Lytle's voice sounds as warm and intimate as ever, giving graceful levity to the doomsday narratives that have dominated the Grandaddy output".
