Explain? I was so excited to see this come up last night…love this album. It’s a force. ‘Excuses’, ‘Promises’, of course. But even the slower ones like ‘Pleasure Sighs’ and ‘Hand Me Downs’ bring it hard. Not to mention ‘All Day Day Light’…OOF.

i think that association is based more on the fact that chris taylor’s name is all over these blog posts. granted he produced the album, but the songwriting is entirely different, and the arrangements/playing seem to be driving towards something else. this band must like grizzly bear, but to call them “grizzly benders” seems a little much to me.

loved the live video but BLOWN AWAY by the studio version!

saw this on GvB last night, glad you guys picked up on it! truly one of the most rewarding videos i have seen. thanks guys.
