Track of the Day: Cool Ghouls - "Grace"

The press bio for Cool Ghouls summarizes in one sentence a lot of what this description was going to entail. “[Cool Ghouls] doesn’t claim to be anything other than what it is; a record for now, a record for then, and a record for forever.” With their influences printed in bold letters across their sleeves, Cool Ghouls are troubadours of America’s best music: soulful rock ‘n roll, the kind not predisposed to fads and trends, the kind that pioneered decades worth of influential music that lives today with the same energy it did some fifty years ago. “Grace,” Cool Ghouls’ newest single, is a stirring, raucous ballet that skirts the line between psych and folk, incorporating everything from brass to backup singers. “San Francisco psych rock revivalist” is a phrase no doubt repeated ad nauseum these days, but Cool Ghouls are nobody's stereotype.
