The Great Outdoors returned to Raincity Recorders with Jesse Gander to record their latest offering: 2023’s Hastings Sunrise. An epic collection of energetic and moving songs, Hastings Sunrise delivers a slightly more aggressive collection of work. An explosive effort from the very first note, it’s an often-heavy album – heavy and eclectic. Songs about uranium mining, gold diggers, and pathological liars. Songs about haircuts, death, and phantoms. The Great Outdoors’ signature folk-rock sound is still there but the amps have been cranked up. It’s an angry record. It’s a pop record. It will make you think. It will make you move. It will make you realize once and for all The Great Outdoors are the undisputed kings of the west coast underground. It’s Hastings Sunrise – quite possibly The Great Outdoors’ strongest offering yet.
