Mimicking Birds - The Loop

[JohnHondo2]

This song is to hard to sing :(

[RHCPx607]

It's Insane how they can make the Loop of existence into Music so good, it can bring you tears....

[spkcorny]

3 people were attacked by birds as young children

[cvesper]

I can't stop listening to this. It is beyond words

[EmbodimentOfDisgust]

best song ever written

[memi11ful]

this is boring

[cottonwoodiver]

@memi11ful well at least you have the rest of the internet to entertain you.. without that you'd just have a head full of space..

[DirtyJewbz]

@memi11ful Then get the fuck off your computer.

Problem solved.

[FANCYBREADmusic]

this is such a haunting song. it is the definition of music

[Iconvizuals]

this song helps me think, its one of those songs that eases ur mind, and reminds you of the beauty of being human, having the ability to produce such amazing artistic creation, i love this music

[jessifer41]

I hate to say it, but this early recording is better than the one on the record under Glacial Pace. The little organ chord/guitar slide interlude is better on this one.

[TheOssumPawesome]

@jessifer41

And I like that the riff is just a bit faster in this one.

[MaseoFlaymore]

Amazing.

[Zeke4TV]

This makes me wanna move to Portland out of LA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cookingandcarson]

if you like mimicking birds check out my cover of Cabin Fever!!!!!!!!!

[zlucas420]

simlpe.......amazing

[chrisg421]

i love originality

[HeavyMetalBee]

This is such a beautiful song.....

[iluvvsmp2]

choo choo

[ModestMousekateer]

Where can I get this version of the song?

[RobotNinjaTaco]

Actually Isaac said he listens to love is laughter at 3 times a week, but still an amazing song and amazing band!!!

[danjonesdj]

why on earth did they re-record this for the album and not use this version instead?

[brandnewwine]

this is what the gods smoke to when they're trying to figure out what to do with us.

[uhmmilovepanda]

this song right here is the best song to listen to when you need to calm down and just look at your life..beautiful<3

[islandwebcast]

stunning lyrics, beautiful music.

[NasalSnack4]

my mind just melted from the massive amounts of indie radiating from this song. Yes.<3

[flyingfeatheredrat]

uhhh....Isaak is in there performing. Hello>

[psiturbo]

Intense!

[colleeneliseee]

@drewmoney51 It's a home recording, and I'm assuming the original version. They used to have free downloads of all the home recordings on Virb but it's deleted now, so you can't find them anywhere.

[drewmoney51]

does anyone know what version this is or what ep it comes off? the album version is pretty different and i don't like the background effects/vocals in it

[silasmcleoud]

I went to see Rocky Votolato at a festival on the other side of Washington. Me and my friend found these guys outside of a motel room. We smoked with them and played hacky sack for a while then they gave us a cd and we saw them the next day at the show. I was really surprised whenever I find a band and they give me a cd they usually suck but this band is incredible.

[TheMousepie]

@silasmcleoud rocky vololato is an asshole

[silasmcleoud]

@TheMousepie Well it's good I'm not interested in being friends with him. Just love his music.

[GavHarrison2112]

It is here that music has reached an afterlife, forever encased in a post-life immortality from which only beauty can be derived. A vast, endless plateau, shooting out for miles in every direction...immeasurably endless stretches of ocean...an infinite solar travelway...what imagery can possibly be beautiful & thought-provoking enough to describe this? I really have no idea. This needs to be heard, so desperately, by so many who have yet to experience its depth.

[WoWyann]

Anyone know where i can get the lyrics for this?

[JamesJosephFerguson]

I am in love with this band.

[TheBeazler]

these guys have a lot of potential! don't have a highly original sound yet, but this young lead singer has great tone and they know how to put songs together. ... hope they avoid the 80s synth Apple aesthetic that seems to be pervading ... be cool if they get a little anger into some of their songs ...

[mella02]

one of the most beautiful songs i;ve ever heard

[TheScienceguy77]

Damn I love this band

[vealshanker]

thanks for posting this great recording. Cheers from NE Portland!

[klaartjevb]

Ah, game of life! Cool :)

This is a great song!

[vealshanker]

so nice to hear something that matters. The sound machine, for the longest time, has been cranking out nothing worth keeping. but this. will be given.

[MechaMary]

This song is amazing, found the lyrics and their killer.

[WoWyann]

@MechaMary Aye where did you find the lyrics for this

[sonicdino1]

this band is amazing and definitly original.i sam them in portland,or at the crystal ballroom then i played on stage with modest mouse.seriously.

[JohnB24241]

Yea when i saw Modest Mouse in Oklahoma City they played with them also. They are a great band.

[visteannika]

So beautiful. I saw them at a Modest Mouse concert as well, I loved them both.

[TobascohotlikeMM]

Really Isaac Brock has great taste in artists obviously- these guys are under his label. Im so glad i would never have found out about these guys and their great talent without it

[wheelsnwood]

im going to see these guys tonight.....the sad thing is that they are opening for a band that should be opening for them.

[MRVarble]

These guys are so good. I also found them out through a Modest Mouse concert in February of 2009. They have such a unique sound that I haven't heard before. I really hope these guys reach their musical goals.

[mst3000k]

@MRVarble Do you know if they are still with Modest Mouse on this new tour? (doubt it but curious)

[MRVarble]

@mst3000k Yeah. I saw on the myspace that they are playing again. Too bad they aren't coming to California...

[mst3000k]

@MRVarble ---sweet, thanks.

[texan5thgen]

@mst3000k Yea they're opening.

[macaroniART31]

ha ha random but i found this band through the drummer's sister (she goes to my school!)

very awesome sound

my favorite song is: rivers, veins and roots

[watwatwhywat]

the drummer is awesome. hes got this weird experimental avant garde style

[KiwiFarsicle]

When I saw them live the drummer was definitely on something. All the colored lights came on and he looked up at them and started smiling like a fool. He also started playing his bottle of water as an instrument. It was great.

[holyshitmichael]

In 2 hours I will be in the crowd listening to this at Austin City Limits

[sinluna]

my band is playing with them oct 6th, @ the bootleg theater in Los Angeles / Silverlake... i love this guys

[watwatwhywat]

i will be at your show

[holyshitmichael]

damn, this leaves me breathless.

[headmanice]

Saw this band with Modest Mouse during their tour! They're a great band. Love their sound. Got to meet these guys and Modest Mouse. VERY NICE PEOPLE!

[jesse9283]

you lucky bastard haha. im going to try to meet isaac and the crew wheni go to one of their shows on sept 5

[eccsxt]

spokane huh? i'll see you after the show. i'm usuakky kucjt enough to meet atleast some of the band when they come out the door. it helps a little to know aome of the security at the knit.

wish nate lacy would be there. thats how i found out about mimicking birds- the inlander said they'd be opening but the other band they listed as guest in previous advertisements matches that bands tour schedule. mimicking birds site says nothing about spokane but hey, maybe there'll be 2 opening acts.

[eponaswings]

Officially my new favorite song.

[platapusster]

my new favorite.

[myblackcat133985]

The band is amazing. This song.. uh.. <3

[Pacifico1982]

love the song... love the video
