Not as bad as Animal Collective, mind you, but they're pretty terrible.

It's too early to even be talking about this, but the records I've enjoyed most so far this year include:

Bitte Orka - Dirty Projectors
The Atlantic Ocean - Richard Swift
Middle Cyclone - Neko Case
The Crying Light - Antony and the Johnsons
Begone Dull Care - Junior Boys

And I'm eagerly awating the new Wilco.


Edit: I don't actually remember Grizzly Bear getting much hype around here, but they're not blog-babies alone: both The New Yorker and New York Magazine profiled them this week.
