    i've been listening to gorilla manor non-stop for the past 3 weeks and have been greatly anticipating this release since i saw them open for edward sharpe & the magnetic zeroes. i have no doubt that this will be a band that everyone is talking about this year...they are so fantastically talented!

    on their website, they have been posting acoustic videos of all of the songs on the album.
    my favorite song - airplanes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6alOzpuURo

    been listening to this album almost non-stop for the last few days, and im loving it. their percussion is mesmorizing. Theyre supposed to be great live, plan on seeing them this spring. Check out this video if you havent heard them, or even if you have really. either my favorite or 2nd favorite off gorilla manor.

    these guys are great, I saw them open for Edward Sharpe in December in Minneapolis and had no clue who they were, but they had a great sound.

    I can't stop listening to their album, favorite song right now is Shape Shifter.

    Going to see them in Minneapolis again as they are headlining a smaller venue in May, can't wait.

    reminds a little of Fleet Floxes and Band of horses (is that a stretch??)

    I had never heard of this group until you posted this. Thank you for sharing. I've just watched about 4 youtube vidoes. I really like their sound.

    Bump for these guys!
    Recently got into them- incredible!!
    Gorilla Manor is one hell of an album, and the song Airplanes is particularly fantastic. Also a fan of World News.

    Going to see these guys live tonight in Minneapolis. Can't wait!! If they are half as good the Gorilla Manor album, then this will be a kick ass concert.

    Anyone else see them live? I saw them open for Ed Sharpe back in December.

    Saw them at Coachella and thought they were great. Love the album, but the live show is better.
