music that sounds like the payoff in 'Colorado' by Grizzly Bear

So after revisiting this rad album briefly this evening, i was re-hit in the gut by the final half of the last track. After that horn interlude, the track goes positively cosmic with that reverb chord sequence and the refrain of "what now.." plus the awesome shimmery scale thing that appears like a pop spectre. Is there anything else in your collective knowledge that pushes that kind of, uh, vibe? I think its more the chords than anything that gets me so hard. So what do you know that i dont?

Can't think of anything off the top of my head, but you are totally OTM about that track. Highlight of the album, AFAIC.

"Is there anything else in your collective knowledge"

I keep thinking Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis...

not rustic enough, but close

The new Dungen record?

I can think of instances - single songs or parts of songs by bands like Mercury Rev and Animal Collective; maybe Beach House, Espers and/or Kingsbury Manx (?) that sound like this, but not any artist who consistently mines this sort of effect. Maybe you should start a new band..

Iron & Wine, "Boy with a Coin"

Samamidon, "Saro"

sigur ros?

brian blade fellowship (esp. the second record) in terms of pretty/epic chords and a certain rustic sensibility

xpsot: yeah, actually, some of the stuff on Takk might be right on.

xxp Hmm, maybe there's a better Samamidon song. I was just thinking melancholy/rustic/orchestrated.

I would think most Sigur Ros stuff would be too ethereal-sounding to fit the bill, though. I absolutely love this sort of sound too: big, open, psychedelia w/ orchestral flourishes, but with an earthy tactility that conjures images of wooden cabins in dark forests and shit like that.

@ Pillbox upthread re instances: yeah, im starting to realise that this is the sort of question that prompted the SAW series of movies to get made (continual instant gratification etc etc)
Zeno's subtle highlight is pretty OTM, as listening to the leak of 'My Girls' over last coupla days has prompted me literally to scream 'WOOO' everytime the snare hits home over the refrain after a long time coming.
i've never heard brian blade fellowship or samamidon, i will have a snoop.

oh and man i hate Sigur Ros. i think this is more to do with a presumptious sense of 'epic'to it that i find kind of miserable

(brian blade fellowship is coming at it from a jazz perspective btw, so if you hate jazz it might not work for you)

Shearwater?

@ Jordan: Larry Youngs 'Unity' is one of my favorite albums ever so no fears there

Samamidon is mostly an indie-folk album (somewhere between Iron & Wine and Jose Gonzalez) but with these haunting beautiful orchestral arrangements by Nico Muhly.

I mean, Samamidon's All Is Well is...

(I haven't heard his other stuff)

This thread reminded me of a tip I got recently on the band Au. I haven't investigated them that thoroughly yet, but taking a listen to the tracks they have posted on their Myspace., it seems like we may have found a winner!

Yeah, I'd say Shearwater, too. This year's Rook, specifically.
