I just bought their ep, Friends, and I kinda agree with the statement made so far. It's nothing too original, kinda like a Seabear meets Panda Bear.... talk about bands with the word Bear in their name...

Yellow House is a really great album. I don't understand why everyone feels they need to be unique seeing as half the stuff of everyone listens to isn't and Grizzly Bear are great at what they do.

The Friends EP rocks, anyway. I haven't heard Yellow House yet, unfortunately.

I have Yellow House and I think it's a pretty good album.

I think grizzly bear thoroughly deserve their acclaim, they are a band that grows on you with each listen which is a very important quality as far as I am concerned!

Grizzly Bear is a pretty fresh bunch although I don't think they compare to indie giant The National.

I'm an asshole. Just listening to Veckatimest and some of the stuff is downright gorgeous (and reminiscent of Fleet foxes, and we all dig the Foxes amirite?). Much promise it shows. :|

GB is way better than Fleet Foxes. Even that EP they released late 2007 was splendid stuff, covers and all. Love this band and hope they come up with something new soon.

Did you check out that Department Of Eagles thing last year? I missed it, but heard much positive things.

That thing I'm listening to is their latest dummy, it just leaked...;)
Can't recall, I still have them on the puter though...

Ok so Veckatimest is one of the best albums of the year, yes? Yes.
