I'd say they are hardly hipster shit. I have yet to hear Gorilla Manor in its entirety, but I've definitely enjoyed the songs I've heard. I'm excited for the album to drop. I've been waiting for it for quite some time.

[Deadbolt23]

Very good album.
Hipster shit is a cop-out label.

[Wake Up]

I really enjoy them. Gorilla Manor is great. I used Hipster Shit as a way to anticipate what others might say about the band. Regardless, I think people should check them out.

[MartyrsCasualty]

Hipster shit = Crystal Castles. This is far from that.

I love Gorilla Manner though... have yet to put it down.

[JustAGirl01]

Sun Hands is such an addicting song

[GeeBee]

Decent music, but hasn't really had much staying power for me.

[Chop[chop]]

Hipster shit = Crystal Castles. This is far from that.

Crystal Castles isn't hipster shit.

[MartyrsCasualty]

;60499892']Crystal Castles isn't hipster shit.
They're the epitome of trendy... but I still enjoy a few songs.

[IWasaCamera]

Meh.

[Deadbolt23]

That Live Lounge video is great.

[jbertclassic]

Just finished my first listen of Gorilla Manor. Slightly bland at parts but I enjoyed somewhat. Wonder how I'll feel after a few more spins.

[ohmessylife]

I enjoyed Gorilla Manor. Not something I listen to that often, but very good.



Edit: have actually been spinning this a lot lately. love the tracks 'sun hands' and 'world news'

[drewinseries]

Really into Gorilla Manor.

[bradnewman]

this isnt good enough to be hipster shit

[Paulb-182]

Listened to this album recently. Really quite enjoying it.

[LilRyan732]

I'm scratching my head figuring out how this amazing indie stuff, came from dudes who were involved in Cavil At Rest, who were so beloved on this website. exactly how many dudes from Cavil At Rest is in this band?

[The Indigo]

I haven't heard the album yet, but I downloaded an acoustic version of Airplanes a few months back, and now I put it on almost every mix CD I make.

If I'm not mistaken it's nearly all of them, if not all of the same ones. I think it was just a name and style change and no members left.

[Burn That Shit]

it's okay i guess. kind of boring.

[IntoTheSun]

it's okay i guess. kind of boring.

was gonna say

[Chromefox]

I thought it was a bit like a more boring Grizzly Bear.

[Pat k]

My friend sent me one of their songs. Sounds like Veckatimest. As if I'd listen to it again.

[IWasaCamera]

Basically.

[timb89]

the build up in sun hands is epic!

Veckatimest was a great cd?

[Pat k]

Veckatimest was a great cd?

I don't agree. I like Yellow House a lot, though.

[Wake Up]

Veckatimest bores me; Gorilla Manor does not.

Haha but for how long will it last?

Seriously though, I listen to Gorilla Manor at least once a day. I'm pretty sure it is my AOTY.
