The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn Boy

3.4 - It's got that turn-of-the-millenium earnest, bedroom-recorded, DIY vibe to it. Given the timing of its release, this album was probably ahead of the Brooklyn-centric zeitgeist of that same sound. At this point, I've listened to my fill of all the Beta Bands, the Grizzly Bears, the Bon Ivers out there. Not mad that I had a chance to hear this one but I probably won't be revisiting it anytime soon.
