b'We had the pleasure of interviewing grandma over Zoom video.

Following his April single \\u201cI Met God Online,\\u201d genre-bending alternative artist grandma releases \\u201cBlue Atlanta,\\u201d a dreamy ode to darkness and disengagement. grandma also announces his next EP, \\u201cAngelhood\\u201d today, which is set for an August 19th release.

\\u201cBlue Atlanta is about the imaginative avenues I created at a time of extreme loss. When I began to hate my environment and my inner world grew dull all I could do was detach. The video is about unfolding and breaking away from the life I created that caused me so much pain. Whether it was friends dying to addiction or suicide I just felt the light went dimmer and dimmer,\\u201d says grandma of the track.

\\u201cI Met God Online,\\u201d released last month, chronicles the nonlinear nature of love in the digital age\\u2014failed talking stages, psychosexual pining, miscommunication and vibe shifts\\u2014 intertwined with a fascinating strain of theism. \\u201dI Met God Online\\u201d is about people\\u2019s fascination with internet esotericism,\\u201d says grandma. \\u201cA meditation on how someone\\u2019s life and internet presence can amorphously become someone else\\u2019s religion, obsession, or gospel.\\u201d

Hailed by Highsnobiety for \\u201ccrafting music that pushes the notion of genre experimentation and fusion to unimaginably innovative heights,\\u201d grandma \\u2013 a.k.a. multi-instrumentalist/producer Liam Hall \\u2013 has earned applause for his fascinating amalgam of bedroom hip-hop, raw funk, alternative R&B, and lo-fi pop, showcased on 2019\\u2019s debut mixtape, Even If We Don\\u2019t Get It Together. The project \\u2013 which features such groundbreaking tracks as \\u201cStomp and Grind (Feat. Rico Nasty),\\u201d \\u201cDowntown Life,\\u201d and \\u201cShallow Water,\\u201d \\u2013 was followed in 2020 by an extensive string of chameleonic singles, including \\u201cEverybody\\u2019s On Their Phone,\\u201d which was featured on SiriusXM Alt Nation\\u2019s Advanced Placement and described by PAPER Magazine as a \\u201creassuring and observant new song\\u201d, and \\u201cVirtually Anything,\\u201d an acclaimed collaboration with anti-pop star sophie meiers which earned acclaim from Nuance Magazine as \\u201can extremely enticing track that is a must listen for any alternative/R&B fans.\\u201d
