Grizzly Bear 'Two Weeks (Spinner Live Session)' (2009)

Grizzly Bear's 'Veckatimest' is one of the key indie/alternative albums to cross-over in recent years (especially in the USA). It's a stunning confluence of melody, structure and harmony, a collection of songs that is well-represented by the piano-led 'Two Weeks'.

Four-part harmonies, sturdy bass and drums that work around everything else rather than dominating all coalesce to create a breezy hit of sunshine chamber pop. The breakdown to accapella three minutes in is particularly spectacular and Ed Droste's keening vocal is gorgeous throughout.
