DH are pretty much their pet band for the last 2 years. Anything related immediately gets a best new music nod. I'd say DH owe 90% of their recognition to Pitchfork. I actually don't hate them as much as I made out, but I don't think they're really good enough for the kind of widespread acclaim they've garnered.

I never saw Okkervil as one of Pitchfork's pet bands and believe their recognition has been quite widespread. Also, they're a well good band! You disappoint me, Luke! Have you heard The Stage Names? The lyrical imagery is astounding
