Five songs just isn’t enough when you’re in the company of such a talented song writer, and the 20-odd minutes of this brilliant EP might be better than the majority of albums you’ll listen to in 2012

In his measure, control and calm intelligence, you can understand why Paul Simon sees a kindred spirit. Very nice record

Rather than the stripped-down or lonely songs that so often accompany the bill of “solo effort,” these five songs are as polished, highly wrought, ornamental – take your pick – as any on Veckatimest

Rossen is a master craftsman – and one of the best songwriters in modern rock – and with Silent Hour/Golden Mile he’s set the bar tantalisingly high for Grizzly Bear’s return

Rossen brings to this EP the meticulous craftsmanship we've come to expect from his work, but in Silent Hour he's created something rare: a rendering of isolation that feels sincere but never maudlin

No matter how sublime Rossen's voice may be, Silent Hour/Golden Mile simply can't transcend the limitations of its origin as a collection of incomplete Grizzly Bear B-sides
