Ready Able is one of my favs, and a song I tend to show people if they haven’t heard GB. Sleeping Ute is like a perfect example of how good Rosen is as a guitarist. It’s not especially hard to play, but it is so damn creative.
Dang, Shields is far and away my least favorite. I actively dislike about half of that album Edit: actually, I might like Painted Ruins less
Imo, While You Wait for the Others is their best song. Perfect pop with just a small bit of their weirdness/uniqueness that elevates it to something really special.
Two weeks was the first song I head by them and loved it, but I couldn't get into anything else. Then Sleeping Ute came out and loved loved it then thankfully everything else clicked. If I had to rank I think it'll be Veckatimest > Painted Ruins > Yellow House > Shields I literally love all of them though and that was hard.
That setlist is literally amazing.. holy crap. I got lucky right when I got into them in 2012 they ended up coming to Texas that fall, but haven't seen them since. Edit: I'm glad your first show seeing them went well! Hopefully you don't have to wait a really long time to see them again
My friend offered to sell me a ticket to their Wiltern show next week and I’m debating going. I saw their warm up show a few months back and it was pretty much the same setlist. But they were flawless and their stage set up looks pretty cool.
You should go because serpentwithfeet is opening and they are one of the most talented people making music right now.
