Check out this rather disturbing new video for Grizzly Bear’s ‘Ready, Able’ below.
The video, directed by Allison Schulnik, see’s some clay animation woodland character acting very strangely indeed. Make sure you check out some of Allison’s other work, extremely creative.
‘Ready, Able’ is an album track from the bands latest LP ‘Veckatimest’. No word as of [...]
Grizzly Bear were joined yesterday night by Beach House’s Victoria Legrand, with whom they also collaborated on the New Moon soundtrack, for an incredible performance at the end of Conan O’Brien’s The Tonight Show. A bit unexpectedly or not, the band played their smashing pop single “Two Weeks” Victoria handling the eerie backing vocals which [...]
We’ve raved a lot over what an awesome compilation the soundtrack for the upcoming teen-vampire-in-love New Moon flick will make. Today, however, we can finally sample the O.S.T. and settle once and far all if the hype is justified or not. The soundtrack itself is yet to have been released, but, like it usually happens, [...]
This is getting preposterous. A few days after we talk about the first confirmed track off the soundtrack for the upcoming Twilight movie, “New Moon,” by Death Cab for Cutie, I’m left to find out that one of the most consistent bands of the year, Grizzly Bear, has been also confirmed as part of the [...]
Here’s something special to kick off the day, if you’re into fencing that is. Either way, you’ll most likely love Grizzly Bear’s recently released video for their smashing single “While You Wait For The Others” directed by Sean Peknold. Abstract imagery, packed with wacky animations and after effects make quite the fun view as well, [...]
So that’s how you pronounce “Veckatimest“! Thanks, Dave.
Grizzly Bear paid a visit to Letterman’s Late Show last week (how the heck did I miss this?!), where they played an incredible performance of “Ready, Able” with a string quartet. The end result was simply stunning - clean, sharp and full of passion. No One Does It [...]

Here’s another incredible concert I missed out this year. Monday night, Wilco simply electrified the whole Coney Island’s Keyspan Park stage with their dazzling performance, going from hit to hit. Jeff Tweedy was simply amazing, particularly, laying some of the finest and cleanest vocals/guitar solos I’ve seen in a live show [...]
Did I mention how much I love great remixes? The one bellow is mixed by The Soundmen, and it simply sounds amazing. Think Grizzly Bear meets Lil Wayne, erhhh… literally! Bet you never thought this kind of mash up could work. Well, think again, give it a listen and prepare to be astonished!

Only one week separates us from Grizzly Bear’s new album release, however, until then we can get the next best thing - some live acoustics of Veckatimes tracks performed by the band in just these past days.
First is the simple, but beautifully effective acoustic version of “All We Ask,” performed in a car’s back seat [...]
To keep it short, folks, Vekatimes is one of those superb album that comes by every once in a while and makes our lives a bit sweeter . Definitely one of the best I’ve heard in a very, very long time. More on it in an upcoming review of Grizzly Bear’s latest release, which I [...]
