Features two dozen musicians from the renowned Willkommen Collective. The Climbers are the Department of Eagles to The Leisure Society’s Grizzly Bear – five years in gestation, the studio project began before songwriter Tim West got Nick Hemming and Christian Hardy together to form the band that became The Leisure Society. West plays a role like Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew or the early Brian Eno, writing beautiful songs then giving them to a vast cast of friends who have free reign to make their mark on them. Even lead vocals are shared by a handful of gifted collaborators, and often shared by the whole band.
