Has the band GRIZZLY BEAR become obsolete?
I just got done watching this bro ‘cover’ Grizzly Bear’s hit 2k9 anthem ‘Two Weeks’, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this bro has single-handedly proven that we no longer need the Grizzly Band Bears as an alternative resource of indie music. When I think of Grizzly Bear, I think of ‘pleasant tunes’, ‘tons of harmonies’, and ‘...

  Tortoise - "Prepare Your Coffin"; Looking at the cover of the new Tortoise album Beacons of Ancestorship and then watching this video makes complete linear sense. On the album cover you have a series of lines that create shapes and in this video we are given a character who races around capturing photos of the shapes of our world. Perfect symmetry right there, and neatly...
Grizzly Bear announce new tour dates
Yes, Grizzly Bear’s new album Veckatimest did leak the other day (much to the chagrin of Ed Droste, according to his twitter), but don’t expect to see any tunes posted here.  I’m perfectly fine with waiting until May 26 when Warp finally releases the highly anticipated album.  Though, the word from most everyone who has heard it has been very positive.  This...
Is WASHED OUT the next Neon Indian/Memory Cassette?
[MP3] Washed Out Feel It All Around Washed Out You’ll See It It’s kinda weird how the musicsphere is searching for a new ‘authentic, undergroundish product’ that isn’t a huge brand like AnCo/GrizzBear/etc. People who ‘love music’ need new music to ‘get excited about.’ It seems like these ‘conceptual, chill projects’ are...
video: grizzly bear - "deep blue sea" live at BAM
Grizzly Bear played with the Brooklyn Philharmonic last night at BAM in Brooklyn. Ed Droste posted the full setlist from the show on Twitter, and according to Ed (also via twitter), they’d never played most of these songs live before, and likely won’t play them again unless they’re performing with a full orchestra. The band debuted a handful of new songs from Veckatimest,...

Who: The Decemberists Title: The Hazards of Love Release Date: March 24th Label: Capitol Records Thoughts: I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising that The Decemberists would try and create a rock opera at some point in their career. Their last album, The Crane Wife, was damn close to being one itself and their has always been a cinematic feel to the stories within Colin Meloy’s songs....
new beach house :: "play the game" (queen cover)
Beach House’s hazy and haunting cover of Queen’s "Play the Game" was inexplicably left off of the physical release of the recent Dark Was The Night charity compilation, only to be later tacked on as an "album only" bonus track that can only be had at this point by purchasing the entire thing from iTunes. Or, you could just take a listen at the duo’s myspace...
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Grizzly Bear’s Edward Droste has been slowly leaking information to the populace about Grizzly Bear’s highly anticipated new album through his twitter page: how the recording is going, what stages they’re at, etc. Well, finally after the bewildering and rather non-helpful clue that the album begins with a "V", Ed has revealed to us that the album’s official...
