#009 The Morning Benders - Big Echo

Pitchfork BNM'ed it, which is usually worth at least one listen.

I honestly am not sure I had listened to this one before, but I don't think I made it all the way through before now. Frankly, I don't enjoy it. There's something dissonant in the harmonies and the denseness of the sound that I find unpleasant, sort of in a Dr. Dog kind of way. I actually think I could see it growing on me, and there are some pretty moments, but it lacks distinction: distinction between its notes, dynamic distinction between its parts, and it lacks distinction in the sense that I can't remember anything about it when I'm done 2.5/5
