This week's Album of the Week is Grizzly Bear's 'Painted Ruins'.

You can read and listen to Mark Wheat's review, which says the album is "meant to push us as the listener out of our regular routines" but in the meantime let's riff on Grizzly Bear for this morning's mix of music.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what bands do you want to hear that have woodland creature names?
