HapPPppily dancing down lollipop lane!

after a weekend well done, sober that is, monday has finally arrived once again, as i hope it will continue to.

been fishin', just ran down the door. we got a lot of Nothing. Yay! which means there's still plenty of happy fish in back in the sea - makes the vegan within very satisfied..



album of the today must be Grizzly Bears "Horn of Plenty". it's something very special, you. the first time i heard it it blew me away - but the opening track "deep sea diver" hit me extra hard. i discovered it a couple of months ago and it was instantly placed as a unique favorite. i must recommend you play this song togheter with the music video. ah. most beautiful thing i ever experienced. they soon became one of my favorite bands.

Ed Droste, the "lead" singer, (who named this after a nickname he gave an old boyfriend - grizzly bear) recorded this album with a handheld recorder together with his mate and bandmember to come, Christopher Bear. it's from the "bedroom", raw and longing. some lack of money made them extra creative, but yet they kept it simple and powerful. the sound through the entire album is a bit rusty, old-timey, maybe, magic, atmospheric and so real. Ed said he had no clue on how to record it, nor was he up to date with other music and musicians in brooklyn. i'm having serious trouble describing it so i'll just suggest you buy the whole thing. their first 'album', from 2004.

it might be of the kind you're gonna have to listen through multiple times and be somewhat very patient with, but if you give it more than one chance i'm sure it'll give you plenty in return. i absolutely love it.

Aaaah.............. immerse your soul in their sound
