Top 10 Songs of 2006: No. 8

8. Grizzly Bear – On a Neck, On a Spit

Instead of packing as much in as possible, this song takes pleasure in all the long gaps and pauses that populate the song. Giving room for the sparsely arranged song, it gives a great relaxing contrast to the two previous entries. Even the song’s introduction takes one and a half minutes to kick in. In fact the long pauses and drum fills add an extra element of drama to the song, that should be more suited to a large open space or a large auditorium.
