WILLAMETTE WEEK INTERVIEW


"an album full of rustic themes and sing-along choruses, as informed as much by Dylan as it is Neutral Milk Hotel."
-OPB

"...catchy, rollicking, cuddly pop music."
-THE PORTLAND MERCURY

"Stories are told with the cleverness and refined skill of an old-fashioned songwriter and filled with words that need to be heard – and shouted along to."
-PERFORMER MAGAZINE

“Wicked-smart lyrics are in full effect...the brash, powerful sound of Mees' acoustic guitar and jumpy vocal melodies continues to chop his songs into delectable little pieces.”
-LOCALCUT

"each song on Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine Money exudes a tone of child-like optimism."
-NPR

"With Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine, Money, Mees has divorced the pursuit of a quick
buzz and has wed himself to his band, who prove that man cannot live on guitar alone."
-PENSATOS

"...one of the BEST I've heard in a while.
Seriously - this band is my new favorite."
-REVOLT MEDIA

"...quirky and trippy folk rock pop bop in the vein of The Flaming Lips, Weezer, King Missile and The Violent Femmes."
-THE RUN OFF GROOVE

PRAISE FOR "If You Wanna Swim w/ The Sharks"

Jared Mees Sharks Cover

"Like Elvis Costello if he had grown up an American Stoner... If you wanna swim with the sharks... is fucking fantastic. "
-WILLAMETTE WEEK

"A distinctly Portland blend of lo-fi and high quality – pervades his new album, “If You Wanna Swim With the Sharks …”... These are songs for the morning after and the night before"
THE PORTLAND TRIBUNE


"Mees croons out emotionally laden numbers reminiscent of Conor Oberst but with a wordmanship indicative of the Lucksmiths..."
PDX MAGAZINE

"Packed full of irresistible melodies and clever turns of phrase…between the varied instrumentation and deliberate dashes of harmony Mees displays an impressive talent with composition and signs of greatness to come”
HARMONIUMMUSIC

If You Wanna Swim With the Sharks... is full of songs mixing highly palatable pop-punk and sincere and rambling indie-folk, with a wide-eyed exuberance...

The story so far...

The brainchild of songwriter/composer/arranger/screenprinter Jared Mees, “The Grown Children” are the catchall name for the current amalgamation of players collaborating with Mees on recordings or on stage. Mees’ first solo effort “If You Wanna Swim w/ the Sharks” was named one of the best albums of 2007 by Willamette Week and called “fucking fantastic” by current Willamette Week Music Director Casey Jarman.

The first incarnation of the Grown Children was borne of a Panamanian Island, where Mees, his wife (and Tender Loving Empire co founder) Brianne and 2 friends wrote the bulk of the songs that would eventually become “Sharks...” After recording Sharks in L.A. and moving to Portland Mees embarked upon 2007’s ill fated and aptly named No A/C tour, with the members of Finn Riggins playing many of Mees’ songs.

Since then many friends have joined the Grown Children Family, and while the constant lineup changes and improvised, infrequent rehearsals would cause many bands to suffer, they have become the vitality of the Grown Children, giving live shows a devil-may-care energy and keeping the recordings on the new album Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine, Money dynamic, vibrant and honest.

About ..Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine, Money .. (out 10-07-08 on Tender Loving Empire)

Tender Loving Empire is proud to announce the release of Portland OR based, Jared Mees and the Grown Children’s new full length album Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine, Money. The 11 song (+ bonuses) follow up to 2007’s “If you Wanna Swim W/ The Sharks” (Named one of the best albums of 2007 by Willamette Week will cause fans of “high quality/lo-fi” (Portland Tribune) “wry wit and slacker folk charm” (West Coast Performer) or “sprawling box car folk songs” (Portland Mercury) to take note. The band will tour the U.S. in October

Recorded at Mastan Music Studios in Portland OR and Produced by Jeremy Wilson (Dharma Bums/Pilot) and principle songwriter Jared Mees, Caffeine, Alcohol, Sunshine Money features percussion/drum work from Ezra Holbrook, (Decemberists, Dr Theopolis) viola and string arrangements by Jordan Dykstra, (VP - Marriage Records, sometime contributor to Valet, Atlas Sound) accordion, piano and organ from Eric Gilbert (Finn Riggins) and vocals by Megan Spear as well as contributions from a host of others.

"In the old days, according to conventional wisdom, punk rock records sounded shitty because getting access to a professional-quality recording setup was prohibitively expensive. These days, you can turn a laptop into a recording studio for less than it costs to buy a used touring van. So when a record sounds shitty in 2009, it's either because the bands are just bad at recording music or it's a deliberate aesthetic choice, an intentional nod to those bygone times and their innocent "authenticity." With the backing of indie heavyweight Matador, scuzz-punks Times New Viking could presumably produce pristine pop nuggets if they wanted to, but instead, on latest album Born Again Revisited as much as on previous releases, they make a clipped, fuzzy, blown-out racket, roughing up the obvious hooks of their songs until they are bruised, bloody things. They're great live." - WWEEK
