A Georgia native, Meiko got her start at the famed Hotel Café in Hollywood, where she was a waitress and performer before local and national buzz allowed her to put aside her drink tray for good. "I am now officially retired from the waitressing field," she muses. "Getting up in the morning and writing songs is my new profession." Listen to her songs in a single setting and it's clear that she's very good at her job. A songwriter with a keen eye and vivid narrative gift, Meiko collects jagged moments and devastating conversational flashes and turns them into deceptively simple tunes with hushed, gentle tones and stunning detailed imagery. Heartbreak has never sounded as lush or felt as wrenchingly familiar as it does on her breathtakingly beautiful debut. The album finds the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter simultaneously tough, tender and funny on songs that explore loss and loneliness but remain hopeful. "I don't write love songs," she says. "I write frustrated love songs."

Members of Earlimart and Grandaddy have been friends for a long time. Well over ten years. We toured together, hung out together, visited each other's respected headquarters, and subsequently went on to be quite close. Who knows how these things start, but... Some of us decided it might be fun to get together and make an Earlimart/Grandaddy album with various members of each band collaborating, constructing songs and recording them in a loose and enjoyable atmosphere. We will call it Earlidaddy or Grandimart! Yaaaaaay! So, recording started and sure enough, it's loose and enjoyable as expected. Sometimes it's even hilarious and insane. Anything but dull.
