    Everything about Daniel Rossen is a masterclass in composition. Every level. His voice is gorgeous and sage, his lyrics are deep and contemplative, his guitar playing is virtuosic without being cheesy and showy, his strings and drums are dynamic and tasteful in how they roar at one moment and disappear at the next. He's the type of musician who might be writing his best material at age 50 or 60 like Ennio Morricone or Pendericki or people of that class, because he's not a pop musician trying to fit into a scene or time-period. He's a damn elite composer who grows and studies his art with each album. There's also an almost "vaudevillian" sense to his melodies, with the type of arrangements that nobody I've heard has even tried since the dawn of radio. Anyone know what I mean? Like REALLY early radio of the 20's and 30's that have a meandering whimsical quality that legit have been an untapped sensibility for 100 years. Just SUCH a unique talent. Damn.

      Well said. The man is a master. Waited a long time for this one, and it’s such a gift to hear. I hope he keeps going, getting bigger and bigger. Heard he’s doing some film scoring work, can’t wait for that.

      I know what you mean about his compositions having some essence of the vaudevillian. I’ve always had that exact same feeling. It’s hard to say exactly why. Something between the character of his voice and his melodic sense strikes a particularly old nostalgic chord. There’s the spirit of Ray Noble/Al Bowlly in there.

    • @grimsontube
      @grimsontube 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @Merlincat007
      @Merlincat007 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I really hope he continues releasing music for decades! I'm a bit worried that he might stop since he's obviously so anxious about his music. I wish we could get through to him how important and cathartic his music is for us, but I think our reactions will be filtered through his anxieties. I'm all too familiar with this kind of perfectionism and self-doubt. That's part of why his music is so important! You don't hear these sentiments get expressed very often because it's so hard for the most affected songwriters to push through and actually release music.

    Daniel is my favorite artist of all time, yet I think you really hit the nail on the head with this review. That being said, I still deeply respect his process and definitely understand that this album was made more so for himself than anyone else. Adding that into the mix, while my favorite stuff from Dan is spread across his catalogue from all of his projects, I think this stands as the single greatest display of his craft and lands at a strong 9 for me. I just absolutely love this guy and can't get enough of him. Funny enough, listening through this album a few times has inspired me to revisit a bunch of GB's earlier stuff such as yellow house and Friend EP, and of course DOE's In Ear Park which is just an absolute masterpiece front to back.

    It’s interesting that you make the comment about how he lyrically describes losing something. In several interviews he talks about losing confidence in his talents, or not feeling the same fervor or excitement for writing songs as he did in his twenties during the early days of grizzly bear and department of eagles. Which is insane because his music is gorgeous. Even the little blips he puts on Instagram are magical

      It knocks Carrie and Lowell out of the park IMO. I loved CAL, but it didn't give me its infamous emotional impact on first listen (that took the concert film). YBT on the other hand gave me chills moments into the first song. This is by no means a dig on Suf; I just think that Daniel made a more immediately accessible album.

    I got to see him perform in Austin for the first show of his tour. He was selling records before it was released so it felt really special to see him perform all these new songs. I noticed you didn't talk much about the Department of Eagles stuff - he performed some of those acoustic versions at the show - which in my opinion some of the best indie rock out there. He's got a CUTE MAN vibe about him and it was such a pleasure to see him be his guitar virtuouso self in person.

    MY SCORE: Strong 8 to 9.
    Daniel Rossen is a master in transporting you into another atmosphere, thanks to the layering, and his intricate finger picking patterns. The arrangements he made, especially in Shadow in the Frame, really brought me back to my childhood. A bit like a smell that teleports you back to a memory.
    Rossen also always sings about things that hit close to home, but I guess that’s because we have a similar point of view towards the world. Pretty pessimistic, slightly bitter, but at the same time in awe of this world. For me, the themes he touches on always feel really relatable. He puts things into perspective, while also not minimizing the pain.
    Rossen is just able to unlock memories of the past, in a way that I can’t really describe. Well, it’s just an album I can cry, but find comfort at the same time.
    Faves: It’s a Passage, Shadow in the Frame, Unpeopled Space, Celia, I’ll Wait For Your Visit, Repeat the pattern

    The first 2 minutes of this review is exactly where i stand for Grizzly. Yellow House is just a complete masterpiece. This record really resonated off that vibe and I loved it. He's an amazing musician.

    Best album of the year, even though it has it's flaws i.e. vocally weak but it is wonderful albeit slightly depressing listen, he really has some wonderful ideas and can weave a wonderful tapestry of music together. Really accomplished stuff against the myriad of trash this year - best album I heard in 2022. But also, felt unfinished in some ways. I'd give it an 8.5/10 - very, very worthy record and gives and reveals itself more after a few listens, can connect musical themes repeating - there's quite a lot under the bonnet. The recording itself is 10/10 - just a masterful recording, every instrument (bare his voice) is near perfect.

    Hands down one of my favorites of the year. Can't get enough of it. It's definitely a 9/10 for me but I'll take it. (Also I do agree that Keeper and Kin is the weakest of the bunch)

  • @jordanthompson5696
    @jordanthompson5696 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I notice that you seem to have a bias against more impressionistic less ‘complete’ or structurally ‘sound’ songs, both from this album and from painted ruins. I don’t know why that is exactly. Like, clearly the dude knows he made a short song and he cut it off perhaps sooner than where we’d prefer, but does that make it a lower quality outcome? I’m not so sure. I think what has always made grizzly bear stand out (with their good stuff (fuck shields, other than a couple tracks) is how free and impressionistic it feels. I’m totally with you on yellow house being their golden era. But I just wish we could get a more in depth description of your dissatisfaction with some of the songs. Like, can’t a “moment, a sound, an experience” be enough? Did that lower the overall impression/score or did you just mean to imply that you won’t really listen to that song by itself?
    I’m curious mostly because I think grizzly bear was one of the only pseudo famous groups to really take a freeing, baroque pop approach to indie rock and we don’t have much of that these days. So I don’t want your opinion to indirectly reinforce the idea that non formulaic approaches to songwriting in indie/folk rock= inherently less satisfying experience.
    Anyway, if I were to give this album a score I’d probably be close to a light 8, so maybe I’m concerned over nothing lol.
    Thanks for being willing to review the guy. I’m always scared you’ll keep dropping the baroque poppish oldy but goodies from your review list. Relieved he remained!

      I noticed that a while ago as well, I think when Currents came out he was reviewing the singles as each was released leading up to the album, and one of them was only about 90 seconds long, but phenomenal. And he absolutely thrashed it (unlike the others) for being a fragment of a song. I was thinking 'So what if it's a fragment, it's still really good, right? You never said the song was actually bad', but I think you're onto something about him grading songs based on how well constructed they are

    • @jordanthompson5696
      @jordanthompson5696 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@thomashesser9005 Yeah I'm just suspicious that he requires a traditional song structure. Then again, freakin YELLOW HOUSE is his favorite grizzly bear album, which is structurally all over the place so who knows
