Grizzly Bear were great live. At the time this came out, I was listening to a lot of St Vincent, Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, the National and Magnetic Fields (&c;), and all this lo-fi stuff seemed to fit my mood. We had a cotton-wooled world with a broken-sleep-patterned wife, a toddler and a baby to Ssh around. This track will forever remind me of that surreal period of parental concentrated attention where everything was set aside, except for music on headphones.
