The new LP is called Painted Ruins and is set to be. I’m personally beside myself excited for their show at The Ryman on September 18th, which also happens to coincide with the date of their record release. Grizzly Bear has at long last announced a follow up to their 2012 indie-pop masterpiece, Shields. If you aren’t familiar, give it a few listens, and I think you will come to know why Grizzly Bear are collectively one of the best bands that are around right now. If you are familiar with Grizzly Bear’s psychedelic and experimental pop, then this record will likely feel like your favorite blanket on cold day. NPR is streaming that puppy in full, and it is a fine, fine piece of work.
Edward Droste (vocals, guitar, omnichord, keyboard), Daniel Rossen (vocals, guitar, banjo, keyboards), Chris Taylor (bass, backing vocals, various instruments, producer) and Christopher Bear (drums, backing vocals, glockenspiel) have finally reformed, after extensive solo projects, to release their newest record, Shields, on Warp Records. The whole thing is an epic and truly logical progression for the. However, I feel that Grizzly Bears third LP Shields might be the first legitimate thing that has come out this year from a band that composes tunes all the while playing 'traditional' instruments. Grizzly Bear are releasing their first record since 2009’s Veckatimest. I tend to refrain from sharing the obvious indie attention drains.

The standout is the six minutes of “A Simple Answer,” an optimistic spiral of synths and exhortations to “soldier on, but please not so long, this time.” The band gets increasingly elemental in “Gun-Shy,” with murmurs that “the sky keeps staring at me” and, later, “the cold keeps tearing at me.” Their world, it seems, has grown inhospitable.

The band rediscovers “Ready, Able” beauty in “Yet Again,” with its swaying stacks of “oh-oh-oh” harmonies and exploratory percussion-a light, tasty morsel of the kind you wish there were more of on the album, though perhaps it’s uncouth to demand such pop from these artists.Ī nervous whisper of strings opens “What’s Wrong,” a slow, organ-soaked ballad that interrupts its introspections with interjections of “everything all at once” and “just go,” a certain kind of dejected tantrum. A signal of what is to come, though pleasing in timbre, in meaning they are somber.īuilding with determined drums, “Speak In Rounds” gathers before it bursts into prog rock twang, a strange sort of King Crimson creaminess, before breaking apart in cymbal crashes into the soft, spacey transition of “Adelma.” The band gathers together for “The Hunt,” with Daniel Rossen playing the role of crestfallen choirboy, wandering about jagged guitar strings and ruffled cymbals, singing of relationships lost and selves found, turning cutesy rhymes of “and I’ll leave it all as it should be / where you are you and I stay me,” wearied, and, in a way, wonderful. Gorgeous and frayed, the wandering begins with “Sleeping Ute,” an opener with the waking dream feeling of an all-nighter meeting sunrise, with Edward Droste singing off-kilter and mythic riddles of “those countless empty days left me dizzy when I woke,” amongst the slither and slurp of Daniel Rossen’s guitar.
So, that is to say, Shields is a difficult, rewarding album-one to get lost in. Ethereal, harmonic, beautiful-but labyrinths nonetheless.
