Gorilla Manor is one of the best first albums I have ever heard. They were fantastic in 2010, they were one of my most anticipated acts and also the first Bonnaroo set I ever saw. I pray to Larry David they will be back on the farm this year. And I certainly do think they've outgrown a Thursday slot!
They were great in 2010. Think they've outgrown a Thursday slot?
You would have to think so, they've proven themselves successful on the road since GM, and if Hummingbird is a success there's no way they end up on Thursday... I hope...
"In the darkness hundreds of glowsticks streaked the air like tracer shots in war. Giant inflatables bounced over dozens of light sabers pointed skyward. Stuffed animals impaled on sticks danced above the hot crowds, puppeted by someone just given ecstasy by a friend made seconds before."

I've avoided all streams of the new album because I pre-ordered it and I want the first time I listen to be in my room on my nice speakers. FINALLY got the shipping notice today so now I'm insanely excited!

Ceilings is a goddddamn amazing song. One might say they really explored the studio's space with that one. My favorite on the album as of right now.
Overall I think Gorilla Manor is better. But Hummingbird is a very very solid effort. Looks like they'll be all over the place this summer, can't wait! I bet Breakers would be a great opener.

I can't freaking wait to hear these songs live. I feel like they're a little more, I dunno, somber or serious than Gorilla Manor. The two albums will pair amazingly with one another.
As of right now, I can put this album next to Gorilla Manor and not be able to tell you which one is better. There are some songs on Gorilla Manor that I will probably always like the best, but as a whole body of work, its close for me right now. We'll see if this album has the same lasting appeal.

Someone recently wrote a review of Hummingbird at Tactile Tracks that talks about this very thing.

They could probably close a tent, but if there aren't any really strong acts with the same set times their tent will be mobbed. I wouldn't be surprised to see them on which if this album receives similar buzz to the debut, which it seems it might
