Grand Hallway is an eight piece orchestral pop band from Seattle WA. Their lush, baroque songs evoke myriad influences.
Promenade is a fractured narrative of the dissolution of one relationship and the beginning of another. the music is dense and raucous in places, translucent and sparse in others. The songs feel familiar but do not belong in any one era.Promenade Reviews -

“A meticulous flurry of strings, piano, slide guitar, and various percussion to score poignant, fun, and beautiful songs.” – The Stranger
“A monorail ride into the orchestral-pop genius of Nakayama and his band…demonstrates why the band no longer deserves to be known exclusively as a regional talent.” – Seattle Weekly
“Fantastic record. Gorgeous orchestral pop and adventurous arrangements.” Kevin Cole, KEXP 90.3FM
“A perfectly sequenced listen from start to finish.” – Delusions of Adequacy
“Grand Hallway prove to be great architects of song.” – Verbicide
