Laura Gibson's Beasts of Seasons reviewed on Pitchfork.com.

Laura Gibson's Beasts of Seasons reviewed on Pitchfork.com.

First, check out the Pitchfork review of Laura Gibson’s Beasts of Seasons. In light of yesterday’s post, it’s actually a pretty good review. But I’m still completely stuck on the 7.2. On the 1-10 scale that makes it sound not good, but the review shows almost no negativity, engages the music and the words credibly, and generally sounds like it was written by a human. Anyway, who wants to score in the 8’s, if that’s where The Pains of Being Pure At Heart land? Check out Brendan’s review of Laura’s record here.

Next, Entertainment Weekly, of all places, is now streaming a Grizzly Bear track from the highly anticipated (by me) and already consummated (by Larson Hicks and countless others who lack any form of self-control) record they’ve called Veckatimest. The track is “Cheerleader” which they’ve performed on Letterman. For those who might question my infallible integrity, I’m linking to it, and have already listened to it myself, because once it’s been released, it’s promotion. It’s to pump the public up. I will play that game. Find the stream here, and bemoan the terrible quality and clicking page, but love the song that lives there.
