I agree for sure, as much as i love the Grizzly Bear album especially, i think AC, in terms of innovation and just as far as the music goes in all regards, blow most others away. Well, it is hard for me on the Grizzly Bear album, can't even lie, when they played some of the songs at Bonnaroo i teared up. And this is right before Wu Tang! can't have no tears round tha

Ghost Face Killlaaaaaaaahhhahhahahh

Too bad about Fleet Foxes though, and Beach House i like for their vibes, it's very nice mood music and pretty nice melodically, but as you said it's not the most enticing.

K Pop that i've heard is very interesting, not my favorite but definitely some pretty out there music in the Electro-Pop realm.

After reading that Veckatimest was ranked at or near the top of several "best albums of 2009" lists along with AnCo's MPP, I decided to give it a couple more listens. About 2/3 through my 2nd re-listen, it's grown on me somewhat, though I still definitely like Yellow House better, and I tend to like the folk-ier songs on this album better (in particular, About Face). Something about this band's melodic patterns and overall style seems to go better with folksy songs, IMO.

In fact, I think I've just decided About Face alone would be worth the price of the entire CD. Sends chills up my spine.

It was bugging me what that song reminded me of, and I think I just figured it out. More or less.





EDIT: I think it reminds me of this one even more:

OOOoooo, Buffalo Springfield. I came really close to buying that album the other day, i still mean to.

Also, I listened to Yellow House, and it's a solid album but, i don't know, i guess i like the showier side of Grizzly Bear, more plugged in and jamming. I do really like "Ready, Able" from Veckatimest which is more low key, with the melody and twitchy structure, it's very coy. Yellow House does have a great ending trio though, "On a Neck, On a Spit" is crazy cool.

Buffalo Springfield could very well be the most important band ever that only made two albums.

Was really getting into Colorado from Yellow House at work today. Gets pretty epic.

Well I'm a Neil Young freak these days and "Broken Arrow" is among my favorites by him, "Mr. Soul" is pretty great too.

I started making my own music video to this. My inspiration is this and several other In The Flowers home-made videos on Youtube. Though I don't think I'll be able to get as elaborate as that one.

so the way to be innovative in pop music is to stop listening to it and listen to Indie then that's basically what Surell and Driveyourcar are saying rofl.
