Every song on "Young Prayer" works together. It's called a concept album [me being a smart ass]. These songs are all very Castillian in concept and tone [probably influenced by his Portuguese inhabitance]. It was recorded in his childhood home with a simple recording set-up. Throughout the album he only uses an acoustic guitar and an amorphous vocal lament to his father. I've never heard an album so purely introspective and beautifully personal like this. I know that sounds cliched but when you think about it, no one has ever created an album about death like this. It's almost like a ritual about the passge into death. This is true soul music. Raw and without ostentatious display. A mourning testament to the beauty of the human spirit. I fucking love Panda Bear.
