Grizzly Bear may come from Brooklyn, but their music sounds like nothing from the city at all. Originally a solo project for Ed Droste, band members were gradually added until they ended up with the current lineup for their second album, Yellow House in 2006. Veckatimest is their third album (named after an island in Massachusetts), and shows good growth for the band’s sound. Mixing folk, psychedelic and rock, the band uses not only traditional rock instruments, but also strings, different keyboards, and woodwinds. Using a more experimental approach to songwriting, the band has a very modern and new sound that fans of older music might find a bit bewildering.
But even though Veckatimest is not their most accessible work, patience with this band does pay off greatly. The hit here was “Two Weeks”, with its bouncy piano intro and soaring vocals making it an almost irresistible song. The rest of Veckatimest, particularly “While You Wait For The Others” and “Ready, Able”, is very good as well, difficult in spots, but overall a fine disc. The future of music is apparently in pretty good hands after all. Grizzly Bear is most definitely a band to keep an eye on. [First added to this chart: 01/31/2013]
