gossamer of moments

"'veckatimest' is a gorgeously refined statement that isn’t content to merely be pretty — a rippling current electrifies even its most gossamer of moments. grizzly bear manages to be delicate and charged at the same time by stitching together compelling styles, including doo-wop, sea chanteys, the stringy interplay of jam bands, jazz time changes and the anglican choral tradition. on “fine for now,” rossen’s vocals have a touch of lounge to them but are strained and hushed. christopher bear’s drums predatorily tick around the vocals before capsizing the whole production in a tidal wave of cymbal crashes." /margaret wappler
