apparently unlike most of the commenters thus far, i loved the sun giant EP, and i truly think it's one of the best pieces of recorded music thus far. i thought it was a great combination of thrilling moments [the chorus of "drops in the river"-- if you can call it a chorus, and the second half of "mykonos"] and the quieter moments [the title track and the beginning of "drops"], along with some frighteningly great harmonies, strong songwriting and great musicianship.
i honestly thought they couldn't get any better, but j. goddamn tillman? wow, dude. they're practically unfuckwithable, now.
