Los Angeles indie outfit Grouplove have been gathering steam since dropping their stunning debut Never Trust a Happy Song in 2011. And with their second LP, Spreading Rumours, out now, the shambolic psych-pop band are looking back on the unusual circumstances their first album was recorded under. Namely, under the roof of former Yes guitarist Trevor Rabin.
FYI, Grouplove drummer and producer Ryan Rabin is the son of the prog-rock axeman who went on to score films like Armageddon and National Treasure. And at Austin City Limits Festival, he tells Fuse how Grouplove used to crash at his dad's house.
"He just supported us when we wanted to do this," Rabin says. "He was never pressuring. When I said, 'Hey, my friends are going to move into your house for two months while we make a record,' he was like, 'Cool , do your thing.'"
