BTW, this may sound weird, but when I was listening to Shields in the car today, in one of these odd deja-vu epiphany moments, I felt like I was listening to Shostakovich!

You'd have to listen to a whole bunch of Shostakovich to understand, but the melodies of Grizzly Bear reminded me of the somber, somewhat rambling but narrow-ranged melodies of much of Shostakovich's work, particularly his symphonies. Plus the way they often build up to these big climaxes, or suddenly get loud out of nowhere.
