Very pretty!

The Grizzlies have some late picks this year, but that doesn't mean there's no fun to be had.

Imagine being the cabby and being treated to this!

This is insane.

Well, maybe. I admit the analogies weren't perfect.

Beautiful cover!

i never really got into grizzly bear as much as i maybe should have. other than yellow house, i haven't really listened to a grizzly bear full-length. i absolutely love knife though; i remember listening to that often when we had free time with the computers at school.

two weeks was also pretty cool, but i didn't really give an honest listen to veckatimest. i breezed through it mostly; i'll probably go back and listen just because of this thread. shields too.

i think the friend ep is great though. their take away show is also enjoyable

Veckatimest has really grown on me. When I first listened to it I thought "meh," though deep down I sensed it might be something I could like better if I listened to it more. Now, after maybe 10 listens or so, I think it's a fantastic album.

Still no love for Shields though?

and speaking of Yes:

Shields had gotten better - and in one sense I think it might have the most sophisticated songwriting - but it still trails behind Yellow House and Veckatimest in my book.
