89.3 The Current presents GRIZZLY BEAR
GRIZZLY BEAR
Celebrated Brooklyn quartet, Grizzly Bear released one of 2009’s most buzzed about albums: Veckatimest, the band’s third studio release, debuted at #8 on the Billboard Music Charts, a milestone for them and their label, Warp Records. While taking two years off to record this album, a follow-up to the band’s acclaimed Yellow House, the band took breaks from recording to tour with Radiohead, and perform with Paul Simon on trying out the new material. The result was Veckatimest, a remarkable album of homespun elegance, bubbling with orchestral flourishes and haunted harmonies.

BEACH HOUSE
Beach House is Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand and Bloom is the band’s fourth full-length album. Like their previous releases (Beach House in 2006, Devotion in 2008, Teen Dream in 2010), it further develops their distinctive sound yet stands apart as a new piece of work. The landscape of Bloom was largely designed on the road, between the countless sound checks and myriad experiences during two years of tour. Throughout this period, melodies, chords, rhythms, words, and textures surfaced in moments of their own choosing.
