Grizzly Bear
 

They aren't unique in their sound in anyway. It's simply been done before but I think the song writing is slightly different than what you might find from most people. Atleast my first listen many of the songs I didn't always correctly predict what was coming. Nice indie folk band. I like them.

I got their album somewhere

It`s alright

This was basically my reaction to this thread. I don't get why these guys get so much hype. Pretty standard stuff.

I have Don't Ask, Eavesdropping (Simon Bookish Remix), Fix It and (my fav) La Duchess Anne (Safety Scissors Remix) on rotation.

good, but not great band...

Any chance of an upload?

Sweet, mucho love from this croatian.:love:

Girl Talk's remix of "Knife" is super good.

this band is starting to get a lot more publicity... which is good to see!

I'm on the label mailing list so got this before the album came out...

They are at ATP vs the Fans even and have already emailed the label asking for an interview for my site too...

Not many bands are GENUINELY "unique" in their sound. Even if it seems so, what you find if you dig deeper is that there're quite a few other act/s pretty similar but without popular recognition.

Extremely boring.

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.

Saw GB open up for Radiohead a couple moons back. Was very impressed. Got one album (it's peach colored, don't remember the name) but it was quickly moving up in numbers of rotations before I left my home.

^ *jealous*

Here, hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?lzgvtjmywqg, listen to it before Pitchfork gives it a "best new music" nod.

I saw them when they came through with Radiohead too, I wasn't particularly impressed by their live show, but I do like Yellow House.

I'm growing more and more fond of Yellow house too. Lullaby, Knife, Plans, Colorado, On a neck, on a spit, all great songs. I've also heard the Friend EP and their cover of Hole's He hit me is gorgeous.

"He Hit Me" is a song written by Brill Building's Carol King and Gerry Goffin, originally recorded by The Crystals in 1962. Here's the original:

Yeah, I found that out yesterday actually...http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c.../bagonhead.gif

He Hit Me... interesting tune.

Their live shows have impressed me way more than their albums so far, but anytime one of their songs comes on shuffle lately i'm starting to appreciate them more.

I saw them open up for Final Fantasy before Yellow House and all the hype started, and the whole place was captivated.

Yellow House is pretty good, but I just heard "Cheerleader" and it blew me away. Im pumped for Veckamatist.

I too saw them with Radiohead and thought they were awesome, but I was also high as a kite so I would have liked most anything.

What album should I check out?

Yellow house, although I thought Veckatimest is more immediate...

Downloaded Veckatimest a couple days ago...definitely going to be one of my top 5 albums of this year.

Does that mean it's officially out or are just a little late to the party?

I'd say it's pretty much a typical indie folk band like all the others. I wouldn't say it's bad, but there are plenty of bands out there that sound pretty much the same as them. I've only heard a couple of their songs, and I really wasn't impressed enough to even bother looking for a full album by them.

You've probably heard the wrong songs then...;)

I'm late, not until recently have I had access to a computer that has a file-sharing program. So in the last week Ive downloaded like 20 different things.

But I posted a link over two months ago...http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...power/sigh.gif

We'll aren't WE on top of things....



And before I actually had access to file-sharing I used to try and wait until release day, but now that it's so readily available I don't care anymore.



SATISFIED?!?


Good:)

for veckatimest? damn im late...got last night

Better late than never...http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...lpower/hug.gif
