On last year's 'Versions' EP, these sleeper Oregonians reimagined six of their previously recorded tracks, carving out the souls of the songs and lighting a fire under 'em, a la Grizzly Bear's 'Friend.' But the clear standout is the opener, 'Ida Walked Away' - the one new addition to the cause. A breakthrough of sorts!? We'll see...

Frequent comparisons to Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear are simplistic, but I think it's fair to say they are somewhere between the two. Way more manic than GB, but more orchestral and gracefully melodic than AC.
