Granville Automatic have released their new record Tiny Televisions.

Nashvillea??s Music Row is as complicated as the myths that surround it. And there are plenty, from an adulterous French fur trader to an adventurous antebellum widow, from the early Quonset hut recordings to record labels in glass highrise towers and from a?oeYour Cheatina?? Hearta?? to a?oeStrawberry Wine.a?? Hidden History of Music Row, a new book from Arcadia Publishing & The History Press, sets out to tell the full, unadulterated story of the heart of Music City.

From love and affairs to deception and murder, drugs and debauchery to war and ghosts, Nashville has it all. Today, Granville Automaticreleases their fourth studio album Radio Hymns, a 13-track concept record that explores Nashville's lesser-known history, including everything from city founder Timothy Demonbreun's two wives to the Ryman's last-minute save from the wrecking ball, and features guest appearances from Jim Lauderdale, Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra, Ben Fields and Matraca Berg. The album has been praised by the Tennessean, PopMatters, American Songwriter, and Jeff Burger at No Depression, who said, “The vignettes are colorfully and imaginatively told but I was coming back for more of the melodic and well-produced Radio Hymns even before I started paying attention to the lyrics.” Granville Automatic is currently touring and will bring the tales of Nashville to The Bluebird Cafe on November 16 as well as The Old School on November 29. Radio Hymnsis available today via Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and the band's website.
