Biography
Grand Resort is the solo project of Andrès Pichardo, hailing from a small town in the Dominican based in Brooklyn, who takes a shoegaze approach to classic C86 synth music mixed with a blend of jangle pop guitars and wicked drum fills. Grand Resort is steadily gaining steam within the diverse and eclectic Brooklyn music scene. “A densely-constructed, sharply-tuned work of experimental pop, with a suitably stunning chorus.” –This Is Fake DIY
It may seem unlikely to pin a teenager growing up in the Dominican Republic as a fanatic of Britain’s jangle pop, C86 and shoegaze. But during Pichardo’s musical coming-of-age, these sounds somehow found their path all the way to the Caribbean and right into his ear canal.
Three years later, the 20-year-old is bursting with similarly inspired guitar melodies and synth layers under the moniker Grand Resort.
Last autumn, Pichardo locked himself up in his apartment in Massachusetts to record the magical Vanguard Dreams, before being mastered by Josh Bonati (The Men, Widowspeak, Zola Jesus) in Brooklyn. The result is an eight song LP recollecting every feeling and emotion he had been hiding for years. This isn’t just another kid in his bedroom with his laptop and a guitar. Instead, Pichardo crafts massive recordings within the confines of his bedroom.
