Does anyone else hear Pecknold’s influence on Hamilton’s melody? Especially in the last part of the song. It’s so cool these guys worked together.

I think he would be relishing in how the internet has kicked the crap out of the music industry and therefore reduced the influence of money over creativity.

Morphine for sure. At a higher spot on the list than Elliot Smith should be.

Portrait of an American Family would be my choice over either of those Manson albums.

To me it sounds like a mixture of broken social scene, team sleep, and early animal collective sprinkled with some power pop vocals. “Growing” is such a sick song.
