Soo bummed I don't have tickets to this tonight! If this youtube vid is any indication of their capabilities live then I'm missing one hell of a show. These boys have the voices of angels I tell you. The breakdown on this track kills me! I've not been much of a Grizzly Bear fan prior to this album, Veckatimest, with the exception of their cover of He Hit Me. I'm a sucker for so many elements of this album from the lush harmonies to the sweeping melodies. It's a formula that gets me every time. The hype preceding this album was pretty ridic but probably just a product of timing, similar to the success of The Hangover*. It's simply the type of escapism many people are looking for right now.
* jsyk, i have not actually seen the hangover yet so i'm just comparing levels of hype at this point
