I just listened to the whaler by Home Is Where (great album btw!) and the song whaling for sport has a solid buildup that I really enjoyed! What other songs does everyone enjoy that have similar buildups?

Let's start with relatively mild moods. Of Monsters and Men have a few songs with nice buildups. Dirty Paws for instance.

Midlake's Young Bride might also be worth mentioning.

Probably unexpected, but she is definitely crazy (in the best possible way): Aurora - All Is Soft Inside

Also her direct relative (musically), Bel Canto - In Zenith

On to rock now, three songs with incredible buildups I cannot help but recommend:

Thunder Road, covered by Tortoise and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Dancing With The Wind - Days Of The New

Pain Of Salvation - Her Voices
