grizzly bear occasionally dabbled in odd time signatures but otherwise that’s a pretty baffling comparison

I honestly can never remember what Grizzly Bear sounds like, lol. I know kind of prog, iirc.When I listened to this album at first I assumed the drums were programmed. Then I wondered if the entire thing was programmed.

It sounds like Of Montreal (on paper) before that band consistently whiffs every aspect of its execution
yep!

This band does sound like Grizzly Bear, but also Mew, and a ton of other things. I would have never listened to it without seeing this thread being pumped, because Glass Beach is probably the most faceless band name i could ever imagine. anyway, great record.

this album is indeed great. they could've stopped making music after "classic j" with their legacy secured, but i'm glad they kept goin

jeez just a day after declaring julia holter aoty (shut up lj) i'm revisiting this and thinking it's so good we should've delayed the emo poll until this year so it could place in the top 20

amazed at how much it reminds me of j-rock, assuming that's a consequence of how jazzy it can be or how much anime the band members have watched
