"It takes a lot of restraint to have this much restlessness within you and still make an album that's snoozy... It can be an okay thing, restlessness. It can be just as good as it can be bad. I think the subject of things changing and there being a bit of unrest in your life, that just leads to great stuff. But you can get addicted to not being happy with where you're at, which is something to consider."

—Jason Lytle on the themes in Blu Wav[4]

Blu Wav is the sixth studio album by American indie rock band Grandaddy. Released on February 16, 2024, through Dangerbird Records, it marks their first album in nearly six years since Last Place, as well as their first since the death of bassist Kevin Garcia.[6] The album's title is a portmanteau of the genres bluegrass and new wave.[2] It has been preceded by the singles "Watercooler" and "Cabin in My Mind".[5]
