Daniel Rossen is one quarter of Grizzly Bear , a band I never bonded with because (specifically) I kept hearing comparisons with, and then hearing echoes of, Van Dyke Parks. Even more specifically, 2004‘s Yellow House reminded me of an album I struggled with and was never able to love, Parks’ allegedly legendary Song Cycle . That is to say, their songs, albeit pretty, were excessively ornate and over-arranged, with too much going on melodically and not enough emotionally. I found them fiddly. Silent Hour / Golden Mile , a five [...]

Brooklyn-based indie-rock act Grizzly Bear have been critics' darlings for the better part of the last decade, releasing three full-length albums of their enchanting brand of lush, psychedelic-tinged folk-pop. After spending significant amounts of time on the road over the last few years, the band's singer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rossen- the guy who's not Ed Droste - was looking for a way to get his creative juices flowing again, telling Rolling Stone , "When you spend so much time touring around, you can lose perspective on what you're trying to do. All the sudden, I had no [...]

As a member of Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles , Daniel Rossen has been a driving force in contemporary indie pop for some time now.  “Silent Hour/Golden Mile” sheds light into Rossen’s songwriting process and the result is a handful of songs that fans of Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles have come to expect from him.  They are masterfully executed tracks that are backboned by Rossen’s strong vocal presence. Aside from an amazing JoJo cover , [...]

The Grizzly Bear frontman covers a folk standard.

Daniel Rossen, singer/songwriter/guitarist for Brooklyn outfit Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles, is releasing his first EP on Warp records this year, Silent Hour/ Golden Mile . Coming from such great heights as Grizzly Bear’s critically acclaimed Veckatimest and Department of Eagle’s In Ear Park , this EP comes as no surprise as it is a light adult contemporary-laden indie record filled with what you’ve come to expect and some enjoy from the boys of Grizzly Bear, multi-instrumentalism and choir-boy croons to make the lady’s hearts weep with emotion. The EP begins well enough with the [...]

The solo EP from one of Grizzly Bear’s songwriters is by no means a disappointment.

While Daniel Rossen's Silent Hour/Golden Mile may feel a bit like glorified bedroom jams-the scraps that were left on the table after the feast that was Veckatimest -it would be foolish to relegate the EP as valueless. This five-song release might not offer the deliberate and precise craftsmanship that lies at the heart of the success of Rossen's Grizzly Bear or Department of Eagles, but it brings other rewards to the table. " Saint Nothing " gives us a dressed-down peek at an artist we usually only get to sneak glances at from behind a ton of [...]

Daniel Rossen has proven to be the most prolific member of Grizzly Bear, splitting his time between that band and Department of Eagles -- and now, solo pursuits. On March 20th, Warp Records will release Rossen's brand new, debut solo EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile . Hear a song from the 5-track collection below entitled "Silent Song." It starts off sounding somewhat like a lost Fleetwood Mac song, but as the chord progression begins to change up unexpectedly, we're met with Rossen's signature tonal shifts; it plays like a rustic, chamber pop folk song, [...]

Rossen releases a second taste of his Silent Hour/Golden Mile solo EP.

Duas faixas liberadas podem não revelar muito sobre um álbum, mas definitivamente indicam muito sobre os caminhos de um EP. E se depender de Saint Nothing , primeira música divulgada do primeiro EP solo de Daniel Rossen , do Grizzly Bear e Department of Eagles , e da inédita Silent Song , liberada hoje pelo site oficial da Rolling Stone, Silent Hour/Golden Mile será uma pequena coleção de pérolas. Silent Song , que você pode ouvir aqui , é uma alternativa mais animada à faixa anterior [...]

Aunque los muchachos de Grizzly Bear están trabajando ya en lo que será su nueva producción, el descanso de dos años que se tomaron entre esta y su anterior placa Veckatimest de 2009, ha probado ser no sólo un tiempo de gira y descanso sino también de inspiración para nuevos proyectos musicales. Así ha sido al menos para Daniel Rossen , compositor y cantante del grupo que acaba de presentar un primer adelanto de su nuevo EP en solitario. La producción llevará por nombre Silent Hour [...]

The sparse piano affair 'Saint Nothing' is the first track to be offered to our ears, Daniel Rossen says of the solo project: “When you spend so much time touring around, you can lose perspective on what you’re trying to do.
