While there's an undeniable, late-‘60s sunshine pop vibe to many of the arrangements here, from the vocal harmonies to the horn sections, the Explorers Club nevertheless seems to have simultaneously inched along a little further on the calendar and widened their target. Grand Hotel - Average, Based on 3 Critics. 80. While there's an undeniable, late-‘60s sunshine pop vibe to many of the arrangements here, from the vocal harmonies to the horn sections, the Explorers Club nevertheless seems to have simultaneously inched along a little further on the calendar and widened their target. More than anything, Grand Hotel seems concerned with offering up tunes that could have been hits on early-‘70s AM radio.

The Explorers Club are a Pop rock band originally from the coast of South Carolina. They are a 5-man band whose debut album was released by Dead Oceans. The music of their first album is heavily influenced by the vocal harmony styles and production of The Beach Boys. They are also influenced by classic rock and roll arrangements as made popular by The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Phil Spector, The Zombies, The Monkees and The Byrds.

The Explorers Club revisits the sound of 60s . studio pop, when rock guitars mixed with orchestras, pedal steels, and electric sitars in a sun-kissed, reverb-drenched pop paradise. This is the best of what we’ve been dissecting in our Digging For Gold series thrown into a blender and served with an umbrella. It helps that Grand Hotel was mixed by Mark Linnet, who recently worked on the Beach Boys’ SMiLE box set. This is gorgeous stuff, folks.

With all my heart I wanted to like this album ...With all my heart I was hoping that Grand Hotel would be a step froward from Freedom Wind, which I liked very much ...With all my heart I wanted to write a pleasing review, especially since this album was given to me by a dear friend from so very far away ...With all my heart I though I could force myself into liking this release ... but alas, I couldn’t.Perhaps Grand Hotel is so dynamically clean and harmonically perfect, that it feels as if there is nothing there. As each song passed I’d no idea what I’d just heard. As each song passed, even with the lavish production, I felt more and more that I’d been taken advantage of. There were no hooks to hang my hat on, no bends in the road to sparkle my adventure … with the reality being, there is nothing more here than endless beautiful scenery, that after awhile made me tired of the cloudless blue skies, perfect temperatures, and made my mind ache with a long forgotten numbness.You see, once upon a time, back in the AM radio friendly days [daze] of the mid 60’s, there were bands such as Spanky & Our Gang, The Free Design, The Association, and yes, even Peter, Paul & Mary, groups with crisp production and energy, yet had one foot in the future, and one foot rooted in the past. These groups had the looks, they wore the right clothes, their music offended no one, their songs got airplay, they were trendy, but the music never evolved, it simply was what it was ... trendy.And that brings me back to Grand Hotel by The Explorers Club, a band made up of members who's parents and grandparents weren’t even alive during those heady times, meaning that they’ve selected a sound that sparked an interest for them ... at least I hope that’s the case, because coming on the heels of Freedom Wind, an album that explores all that the Beach Boys were from some future vantage point, balanced with brilliant harmonies and delicate musical visions, they have chosen to make this venture, reminding all of us who lived though those years, of the songs that filled the gaps between the truly magical numbers of the times, The Byrds’, “Eight Miles High,” Dylan’s “Everybody Must Get Stoned,” The Rolling Stones’, “Paint It Black,” and The Beatles’ “A Day In A Life.”So I suppose that I’m hearing a band who’ve decided to recreate the musical wheel, and while Freedom Wind was certainly a creative extension and re-invention of what we all loved about the Beach Boys, Grand Hotel has managed only reached back further and gave us nothing new, not even a way of seeing what was so despised, in a new and fresh manner ... they simply took all of that pablum, made it much more slick, and much worse.And that my friends brings me to the real question, “Is Grand Hotel paying homage to mall and supermarket soundtracks designed to get those of my age to part with their hard earned cash, or do they really feel an affinity and love for a cheesy soft surf-side breeziness that was never there for anyone stepping into the 60’s with eyes wide open?” I know ... let’s explore the notion of bringing back toe-socks.Review by Jenell Kesler
