Hi, nice to meet you. You mind giving me some air? Wow, Stubb's was it packed for Grizzly Bear . So packed that the photo pit was moved in to allow for more people space because the show was oversold. I didn't know that sardines had date nights. Was it worth it the uncomfortably close neighbors? A couple quick notes on the show including my love for Owen Pallett and of course the human monopod show pics... Owen Pallett [...]
I am a devoted Grizzly Bear fan and believe that their two previous releases ' Veckatimest' and 'Yellow House' are two of the most amazing indie folk albums ever made. It would be hard to deny that 'Shields' follows in their footstep. Daniel Droste and Ed Rossen still deliver those amazingly charming vocals, and the [...] The post Cougar Microbes Top Albums of 2012: Grizzly Bear - 'Shields' appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
"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, [...]
Grizzly Bear 's 2009 album, Veckatimest , broke them into the mainstream. That jangly baroque pop melody of "Two Weeks" was in everyone's ears, and rightfully so. The band has returned with a new album, entitled Shields , and the Draw Us Lines staff is here to explore the record and share our thoughts. We have lots of thoughts, and some of us are more intimately familiar with the band than others. You probably have your own thoughts about the band-and this record-already, but you're going to want to read we have to say. Think of this as [...]
My love affair of the day is Grizzly Bear's latest album "Shields"...
I first heard Grizzly Bear in 2008, just before their last full-length release, Veckatimest , which demonstrated a rich, orchestral clockwork between the members of the band and a certain livelihood that was less present on Yellow House . Shields comes from a three year period of silence that yielded solo material from Daniel Rossen and Chris Taylor , under his [...]
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars With their release of Veckatimest in 2009, Grizzly Bear essentially placed themselves on the map for those of you who had no prior knowledge of these indie rockers. Receiving accolades upon accolades, that album made it to the top of end of year lists and fans swooned over the brooding, yet airy sounds of this band. While I was a fan of that last album, I have to confess that I didn’t enjoy it to [...]
With Shields , the New York psych folk outfit Grizzly Bear makes a move toward subtlety, toning down some of the bright, poppy moments that made 20092s Veckatimest such a powerhouse. WATCH THE REVIEW
So NPR has given us a big present for getting through this week and making it to Sunday night: the full album stream of Grizzly Bear' s newest album Shields . What a fantastic surprise. The much awaited album has been making a slow and exciting entrance into our lives with the release of two major singles, " Sleeping Ute " and " Yet Again " which the band has also already performed on the Colbert Report [...]
Since 2004 Grizzly Bear has released 3 albums, each more anticipated than it's predecessor. However, there was a significant leap in the ache and pine for the album set to follow their 'breakthrough' 2009 album, Veckatimest. "Yet Again" is the second officially released song from the album that the blogosphere has heard and while it remains a bit more chaotic than usual, the characteristics that have defined the band for the past 8 years shine through. It's still experimental folk rock, but with a few more beakers and test tubes. Be [...]
Grizzly Bear will release a new album, Shields , next month - the long awaited follow to Veckatimest from 2009. Listen to Yet Again off the new album. The band previously released the song, Sleeping Ute , off Shields, another big-sounding track.
I often wonder why bands regularly take well over three years to release an album. I’m shocked that it takes musicians several years to make shit like this . But after one listen of Swing Lo Magellan , I immediately understood why it’s taken over three years to follow up the wonderful Bitte Orca , because this is the some of the most elaborate and complex and beautiful music I’ve ever heard. On the other hand, Swing Lo Magellan is [...]
It's been just over a month since Grizzly Bear revealed that they'd finished their new, then-untitled fourth album, and threw us a bone with one of the best songs of the year in "Sleeping Ute" , the first new music from the band since 20092s LP Veckatimest . Today the band revealed that the album is now titled Shields , and the cover art is above. Clubs and spades. Maybe it's an album for gardeners who like to rave? [...]
Los neoyorquinos editarán al sucesor de Veckatimest (2009) el próximo 18 de septiembre. Este material aún no tiene título, pero ya se dio a conocer el tracklist y un adelanto, titulado Sleeping Ute . Además, junto con este lanzamiento, el grupo anunció una gira mundial que comenzará en Estados Unidos a mediados de septiembre. A continuación, te dejamos el tema que abre el disco, Sleeping Ute . Grizzly Bear - Sleeping Ute \n [...]
The last time we've heard from Grizzly Bear, was 2009's album Veckatimest. If you were sleeping on that album, get yourself caught up. Vackatimest's main single, Two Weeks, was/is soaked in psychedelic harmonies so good, you'd think Brian Wilson lent Grizzly Bear a long lost, forgotten Pet Sounds track. Well, Grizzly Bear is now prepping for a new album scheduled to be released later this year in September. The upcoming album is still untitled, yet a track listing has been provided. Sleeping Ute opens with some bombastic crashes pairing with some wild guitars, holding strong up until an awesomely cluttered [...]
After a crazy 2009 with the release of Veckatimest , Grizzly Bear break the silence and announce their latest project, which has yet to be named. The album will be released on Sept. 18 via Warp and they have a new song off of it for your listening pleasure. Along with the album and single announcement, the band reveals plans of an ambitious world tour, which stops in the United States and carries on through a slew of other countries. Check it all out and let us know your thoughts on the upcoming Grizzly Bear release. [...]
Here we go, the last Monday in March, which means, thankfully, that we can soon tear one more month of the calendar and be just that much closer to summer vacation. I, for one, can't have summer get here soon enough. Anyways, as per usual, your Melancholy Monday playlist, just like your ma used to make it: with love and the utmost care. 1. Cowboy Junkies: Blue Moon Revisited (Song For Elvis) ("The Trinity Sessions," 1988) 2. Bon Iver: Lisbon, OH ("Bon Iver," 2011) 3. Miles Davis: [...]
Arrivi verso le sei del pomeriggio col sole un po' più basso che picchia lo stesso. L'erba di Hyde Park è secca, perché alla siccità non è abituata; c'è molta polvere nell'aria, il polline è all'ottanta per cento. I Grizzly Bear cominciano a suonare chiamando a raccolta il pubblico dentro un tendone da circo aperto ma buio, illuminato da uno dei sistemi luci più belli che ricordi a un concerto. Certo, i Sigur Ros sono imbattibili in quanto a lighting design, gli U2 hanno inventato il concetto, e i Flaming Lips l'hanno perfezionato, ma i Grizzly [...]
Yeah, I know...it's March. Presidents Day has passed and McDonalds is already selling Shamrock Shakes...a little late for the Best of 2009, but here we are. I never claimed to be one for timeliness, especially of late. For simplicity sake, the numbers associated with this list are just arbitrary...it's pretty hard to rank things objectively, but the following is what I liked best about the shitty year that was 2009: 1. Dananananakroyd - Hey Everyone! Cheeky band name aside, Hey Everyone! is an [...]
So I know this isn't exactly timely for the end of 2009, but after the jump, I'll rank and briefly discuss my Top 5 alubms from 2009; mostly because my list is almost completely different from BVaz's. I only am doing five because I feel like after my top five, things get muddled. Who is 6? Who is 10? Woods? Real Estate? Atlas Sound? Phoenix?! Are those albums even worth of a top 10 of the year? Not sure! The five I have listed here are all fantastic, though. One thing is for certain - loved me some chill albums this year. [...]
