After two decades of writing beautifully inspired, idiosyncratic pop and rock songs, former Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle has come to one immutable conclusion: His music isn't that heavy.
Dept. of Disappearance, with a cast of oddball characters and their mundane hopes, failed dreams and unrequited love. To keep the narrative from getting overly bleak, Lytle even offers the occasional, if brief, affirmation. The only words in a song called "Get Up and Go" are, "Get up and go, you can do it / Everything's going to be all right."
