Pretty much every song on this album

"It was a very good year" by Frank Sinatra is the paragon of this song type

yeah that album is great (also wow they're getting noticed more now aren't they lmao)

two weeks and foreground are standouts for this kind of thread

Yeah, Two Weeks is definately my favorite song. It's weird you mentioned those two, seeing as I was animating yesterday listening to those two songs on a loop.

Veckatimest is easily the best album to come out in a long time, I absolutely LOVE Grizzly Bear. I Live With You is just a giant orgasm when it climaxes. To me I feel like Two Weeks is way to poppy to be thrown into this category, just about every other song on the album could be though.

Quote from: Dicklick McGee;1555672^^ The entire Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots album.

Yes,
One More Robot Sympathy 3001
In the Morning of Magicians

Are you a Hypnotist?

My favorite songs off of Yoshimi

Also
Grizzly Bear - All We Ask
Grizzly Bear - Dory
Muse - Falling Down
Muse - Muscle Museum
The Shins - Red Rabbits
The Shins - Sleeping Lessons
Radiohead - Airbag
Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien
Portugal the Man - Out and In and In and Out
My Morning Jacket - Touch Me I'm Going to Scream pt. 2
My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
The Mars Volta - Asilos Magdalena
House of Fools - Let's Follow
House of Fools - Go Down
House of Fools - Interested
House of Fools - Coke and Smoke
Franz Ferdinand - Jacqueline
The Doors - Waiting for the Sun
The Doors - Wishful, Sinful
The Beatles - Because
The Beatles - Dear Prudence
The Beatles - Something
The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
Steel Train - I've Let you Go
Steel Train - Kill Monsters in the Rain
Steel Train - 1999
The Spinto Band - Oh Mandy
The Spinto Band - Brown Boxes

Basically, the reason these songs sound nostalgic is the use of major to minor chord progressions as well as the well placed chromatic half step progressions such as in Waiting for the Sun. To me, these progressions are the most beautiful sounding, soothing chord progressions.
