Open-air with Grizzly Bear ! Last Wednesday I went to a concert by the American Indie band Grizzly Bear and once again I was shivering the whole time, not knowing if it was because of the excitement or the cold temperatures… However, Grizzly Bear ’s show was amazing and so was the location. They played at the “Summer of Music” in Dachau, in the near of Munich. About a thousand people came to the concert, all wearing winter clothes because it was so cold and there was even “Glühwein” (mulled wine) being sold. But when [...]

"So, are you, like, the Queen of Vancouver?" Grizzly Bear 's Ed Droste asks me on Saturday night, after an unsurprisingly beautiful show at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom. He's being drole, of course, but it's in reply to my assurances that I'll help rally the troops to Sunday's far-from-Sold-Out second show. "No, just the mayor," I respond - he laughs - and remind him that it's Canadian Thanksgiving tomorrow night, hence the dip in sales. "Oh they'll probably be in a food coma then!" he chortles. He's interested  in the differences between Canuckgiving and USgiving, [...]

Amateur chefs pining for a popular influence to mimic in the kitchen have limited options: Guy Fieri is too much of a bro, Ina Garten is cool in the same way your mom is, and Giada De Laurentiis is far too pretty and distracting to glean any tips from. But avast, from the trenches of indie music, emerges the hope of a new culinary guru: Grizzly Bear' s Chris Taylor . Looks like you just got dropped a notch, Emeril Lagasse. A recent New York magazine [...]

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012 I sat at Toronto's Massey Hall in anticipation of what I knew would be an amazing show. With Massey Hall undoubtedly being my favourite venue for its wonderful acoustics, I expected the pairing to be magical.  Although I had extremely high anticipations, those were nonetheless surpassed once Grizzly Bear came on stage and Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen, Chris Taylor and Christopher Bear began performing. After American-New Zealand band  Unknown Mortal Orchestra opened , Grizzly Bear made their way on at 9:15 [...]

It's not to say that the Album Of The Week selection for this second week of September has always been a foregone conclusion. This slate on September 18th is actually full of great efforts by a broad set of worthy artists, all situated in the upper echelon of their respective niches - see the laptop-enabled R&B redux of How To Dress Well's Total Loss , the tenth set from evergreen fuzzbox titans Dinosaur Jr and their I Bet On Sky , and the Killers' bold and artful widescreen mainstream American rock record Battle Born . But [...]

Grizzly Bear - Shields By Hayley Scott Since their arrival in 2004, success has been sequentially brewing for Grizzly Bear . In a time when British music was submerged in the genericisms of Razorlight and Kasabian, the Brooklyn quartet were conceiving ideas for Horn of Plenty: the home-recorded brainchild of Ed Droste that was not initially meant for prying ears, and only intended to be heard by friends, and the experimental results of which introduced us to the dynamic and intriguing world of Grizzly Bear. [...]

Fragilidade pode ser uma coisa belíssima. Essa frase poderia servir como lema da carreira do Grizzly Bear , banda que lançou uma sequência impressionante de álbuns singelos, construídos sobre vocais e harmonias angelicais e instrumentação glacial: Horn of Plenty , Yellow House e o brilhante Veckatimest , um dos melhores álbuns de 2009. Mas uma estrutura frágil, delicada, quando exposta aos efeitos do tempo, quando estendida demais, esticada, desgastada, pode estourar. O escudo é a parte final da armadura para um cavaleiro. É o fim dessa fragilidade. Assim também é o álbum que leva esse [...]

Yesterday, Pig Destroyer announced that their new album, Book Burner, will be released on October 23 via Relapse Records; they also released the album's cover art, by Chris Taylor, above. I am very excited about this album, as Pig Destroyer are one of my most favoritest bands in the world, and it seems very likely [...]

Now Playing  – every week, a roundtable of our writers will give their views on one of the recently-released new tracks. It’s as simple as that! If you want to tell us what you think of the song, feel free to leave a comment below. Track: ‘Sleeping Ute’ by Grizzly Bear Average grade: 7.7 Kenny: After a discordant start this achieves a more melodic balance once the vocals come in although the change from the [...]

Yesterday, Grizzly Bear kicked off their new album cycle with " Sleeping Ute ," a tempestuous Rossen-penned gem that the comment section wanted to marry. ("I do!" - You guys.) The band's still-untitled record comes 9/18 via Warp, and it is something we will probably talk about a fair bit around here, because it's been three solid years since Veckatimest was our #2 record of 2009 . That's awhile in blogyears. But if it feels like Grizzly Bear never left, it's because they never really did. Jointly they've been [...]

Blood Orange Forget It Blood Orange announces new single, except it’s not new. Wtf bro.. Blood Orange’s first release Coastal Grooves has become one of my favorite records of 2011, and due mostly to his live show. As the opening act on Chris Taylor’s “CANT Dreams Come True” 2011 tour, I became a believer in Dev Hayes. Having helped produce albums for everyone from Basement Jaxx, and Theophilus London, to Solange Knowles, Cassie, and Diana Vickers, it’s no surprise Dev Hayes finally stepped [...]
