    Yellow House is... required listening not just for fans of Horn of Plenty, but for anyone who enjoys ambitious, creative music with an emotional undercurrent.

    While Grizzy Bear often comes off as some backwoods cousin of the Elephant 6 collective, the band sports as much texture as Boards Of Canada. [#73, p.93]

    Soft and soothing, and yet so powerful and moving, Yellow House is easily my favourite album this year. The imaginative lyrics take your thoughts away and leave you fantasizing about being lost in a some childhood memory; of walking around alone in the woods, watching a golden sun, set over picturesque rolling hills in the west. Of falling in love but leaping to conclusions too fast and then seeing that dream fade away like the last pieces of Droste's heavenly vocals. Of finding reality in your own hands; of learning to learn and loving love; of grabbing hold of your own beating heart. These 50 minutes will change every minute.… Expand
