    I come to this as a fan of Grizzly Bear, their "Yellow House" album in particular. This album is striking in its complexity despite it being completely organic in terms of instrumentation. We're talking simple guitars, percussion and wind instruments but at times it sounds like a classical orchestra backed album. This is proper, high functioning music in the vein of "Astral Weeks".

That said, unlike that aforementioned album which maintains its brilliance throughout, "You Belong There" is an album with some exceptional moments but often the material is more impressive than necessarily magical. Daniel Rossen is an obvious talent and fans of Grizzly Bear will like this.… Expand

    With themes of adult responsibility and parenthood bearing heavily on his mind, it might sound solemn in places, but it’s a hugely rewarding listen, a baroque-folk companion to the gorgeous undulating mysteries of Rock Bottom.

    While Rossen’s debut may not always soothe its listeners, as the 2012 release Silent Hour/Golden Mile EP might have done, You Belong There is a solo record worthy of much praise and admiration.

    An ambitious, wrenching, majestic album.
