With a dreamy, reverb-drenched intro, the song drifts alongside layers of wobbly arpeggiated synth lines and space-age guitar melodies. It’s the opening track, and it’s also a fitting intro to GROUNDERS. It shimmers and gleams, but there’s a scrappy, stripped-back undertone that chips away at any polish. For every catchy hook and lush arrangement throughout the album there’s a woozy counterpoint that keeps things slightly off-kilter.
Where do you go from here? Into the weird and wonderful pop world of GROUNDERS.
This spring, the Toronto-based band – Andrew Davis (vocals and guitar), Daniel Busheikin (keyboards), Mike Searle (Bass) and Evan Lewis (guitar) – will release their first full-length album, a collection of dense and intricate pop music under the gauzy veil of krautrock and psychedelia. In the time between releasing the Wreck of a Smile EP in 2013 and laying demos for their debut album, GROUNDERS rediscovered their love for classic pop music, an appreciation that had waned over the years as they became obsessed with circumventing the conventional. They listened to pop staples like David Bowie and Devo, and revisited old favourites like Velvet Underground, Neu and the Zombies. When GROUNDERS finally came up for air, they had a newfound love for pop and a glut of ideas for a debut LP.
Meanwhile, Meditation for Dummies and David Lynch’s self-help guide Catching the Big Fish, on transcendental meditation and the creative process, were passed around the van while touring through North America. As Davis’s interest in meditation increased, his lyrics began to reflect his search for serenity and inner peace.
The album came to life in two distinct spaces: Davis’s bedroom in Toronto’s sleepy High Park neighbourhood; and a spacious two-car garage packed with vintage gear from various pawn shops and second-hand stores across the country.
After recruiting DIANA’s Kieran Adams to handle drums, the band headed into the studio with longtime pal Marcel Ramagnano (Born Ruffians, Absolutely Free) to record. Months of tracking, tinkering and layering later, GROUNDERS enlisted the incomparable David Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Holy Fuck) to give each song the bombastic, fried analog treatment he’s become known for.
First single "Secret Friend" sounds like a bleached and sunbaked Zombies; “Vyvanse,” which yes, is named after the ADHD drug, contains a lilting guitar riff that’ll break your heart; “Pull It Over Me” careens into the dreamy ether courtesy of a wistful cyclical guitar that’s the epitome of a lazy summer’s day; “No Ringer” is a wobbly Silver Apples trance doused in a saxophone freak-out; "Fool's Banquet" sparkles like early Broadcast flooded by constant glistening waves of pleasure. After cross-country tours, an acclaimed debut EP and a David Lynch-inspired spiritual journey, GROUNDERS have finally come of age.

Great video! I have one question though. Coach Chris keeps talking about coming through the ball but it looks like Kole is funneling the ball back into his body. This is a big debate I have with a lot of coaches. Some coaches want you to always funnel and others want you to work through the ball. I have my team practice both because I think the kind of hop you are receiving dictates how you should play it. Just wondering what your thoughts are? Thanks.
Rodeo
I would say they are both correct. Just depends on your position to the last hop of the ball.
YouGoProBaseball
Kevin Gilroy I agree with you. I think it depends on the hop. If it’s a short hop I think you should come through the ball especially if you are moving towards it. If it’s a longer hop you should meet it out front and funnel it in. Marlo kind of touches on it from 3:00 to 3:15

Really good information. It always makes me happy to see someone else that teaches the craft and skills the correct way. #TheGrindNeverStops

@Jeff Minot They appear to be fairly young, so that might be why. I trained and grew up with this and other methods and techniques for the forehand, soft hands, straight routine, backhand, transfer, etc., from playground to little league, school, college, and into coaching LL through college, running camps/clinic, and into scouting for 15 years - 40+ years in the game. The fielding techniques and drills they show are not new. They've just made the effort to produce instructional video for this. I still commend them for doing and putting this type of information out there with that level of enthusiasm...pretty clear video to boot. I'd stand around and enjoy just watching them for a bit if I were to run into them. somewhere. ⚾️⚾️⚾️

Raymond Hale Thanks! Yeh, we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. I just take what make sense to me and try to put it in my own words. Great post. I appreciate it!
