PAINTED RUINS has earned widespread praise from the New York Times, NPR Music and GQ, who praised the band’s “strikingly gorgeous music and harmonies.” Esquire called PAINTED RUINS “their most mature album yet,” Rolling Stone dubbed the music “ornate” and “spellbinding,” and in their 9/10 review, Under the Radar said, “the album is the sound of a band cohering as never before with a formidable swagger.” The album has earned 4/5 stars from Mojo and Q Magazine and 9/10 stars from Clash and Uncut, and Paste Quarterly declared, "Grizzly Bear made an album for the times: something wild and alive, bucking assumptions and beaming color, their best yet."

  • OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Announcing the First Artists We’Re Pleased to Announce the First Artists That Are Confirmed to Perform at the Next OFF Festival
    OFF Festival Katowice 2018 Announcing the First Artists We’re pleased to announce the first artists that are confirmed to perform at the next OFF Festival. They’re original, they’re psychedelic and they’re kaleidoscopic: Grizzly Bear, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah performing Some Loud Thunder, John Maus and Marlon Williams are coming to Katowice in August. Get your OFF Festival passes now at a special early- bird prices. There’s no better Christmas gift than that! Grizzly Bear If there’s one band on the US indie scene today that can blaze new trails in American folk music while remaining faithful to the lessons of the Beach Boys, and that can be as catchy as they are challenging, blending jazz and art rock with pop, then that band is, without a doubt, Grizzly Bear. But it would be unfair to brand this Brooklyn quartet as a group of savvy counterfeiters: their music — a dense web of gripping and at times slightly psychedelic sonic ideas — is a purely original invention. It’s also one that’s garnered rave reviews from audiences and critics alike since their debut Horn of Plenty (2004). Grizzly Bear’s follow-up Yellow House (ranked among the top albums of 2006 by The New York Times and Pitchfork) secured their spot in the top echelons of alternative rock, while later efforts, including this year’s Painted Ruins, only reinforced their status. But as we’ll all see on a warm summer night this August, this bear’s natural habitat is the stage. John Maus His music has been described as a mash-up of punk, catchy soundtracks to ‘80s blockbusters, the unremitting poppiness of Moroder, and the spiritual qualities of Medieval and Baroque music.

  • Grizzly Bear Återvänder Efter Fem Års Tystnad Med Nya Låten ”Mourning Sound”
    Grizzly Bear återvänder efter fem års tystnad med nya låten ”Mourning Sound” Bandet Grizzly Bear bestående av medlemmarna Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen, Chris Taylor och Chris Bear, är ett utav 00-talets mest prominenta och respekterade indieband med rötter i Brooklyn/Chicago. Sedan senaste släppet har bandet legat lågt i 5 år. År 2016 började de arbeta på nytt material och nu har Grizzly Bear äntligen avslutat studioarbetet med sitt kommande femte album ”Painted Ruins” som väntas släppas i sommar via RCA/Sony MusiC! Inofficiella debuten kom 2002 via ett hemsnickrat album avsett för vänskapskretsen, men som läckte och fick liv tack vare New Yorks underground-indiescen. Den officiella debuten kom istället 2004 med albumet ”Horn Of Plenty” som hyllades av både The New York Times & PitChfork. Sedan dess har bandet hunnit med att släppa albumen ”Yellow House”, ”Veckatimest” som i samband med releasen 2009 fick stor uppmärksamhet bland både fans och media samt albumet ”Shields” ifrån 2012. Under våren 2017 har teasers publicerats via det nystartade instagramkontot @grizzlybear där bandet själva teasat smakprov på ljud och bilder på vad som komma skall ifrån nya albumet. Detta i syfte att skildra den komplexa ljudbilden. Gruppen förklarar vidare: “The idea of the snippets on our new instagram @grizzlybear was something we thought people would enjoy. Our songs are usually so layered and dense and it seemed like a fun way to peel back the onion layers of the new album. So to clarify, it wasn't meant to torture you but more meant to show you small pieces of all the songs from the forthcoming album!” - Grizzly Bear Låten “Mourning Sound” premiärades på Zane Lowes Beats1 World ReCords-show i gårkväll i samband med en stor intervju med hela gruppen.

  • When Grizzly Bear Came to the End of the Road with Their Fourth Album, 2012'S 'Shields', the Future Was Unclear
    When Grizzly Bear came to the end of the road with their fourth album, 2012's 'Shields', the future was unclear. No dramatic decisions were made, no arguments were had, but there was a feeling as there always is with the foursome that a breather was required. The band who emerged in 2004 in Brooklyn, New York, have forever functioned as a self-described “democracy”. It's equal and it's fair but it can also take a lot of out of them. And so they went their separate ways and bedded down in different corners. Vocalist and songwriter Ed Droste adapted back to life in Los Angeles, his new adopted home and decided to distance himself from music and the industry, vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rossen moved to a remote area of upstate New York and continued to write and record on his own, drummer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Bear continued playing with various projects and worked on scoring a TV series, and vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Chris Taylor decided to go West to LA after a one year stint in Berlin. He produced for other artists and made a solo record under the moniker CANT. Taylor, however, got restless. The band's mediator since the beginning, his feet started to itch after the usual six months of downtime. “I kinda kept writing everyone,” he says. “Telling them that we should start making a record. I wanted to be making music with my band again. I stayed busy, I wrote a cook book, produced other people, but my favorite thing to do was work with my band.

  • Art and Protest in Putin's Russia
    Art and Protest in Putin’s Russia The Pussy Riot protest and the subsequent heavy-handed treatment of the protes- tors grabbed headlines, but this was not an isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime. As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there has been gradually emerging over recent decades a signifi cant counter- culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting forward, through art, alternative values. The book traces the development of art and protest in recent decades, discusses how art of this kind engages in political and social protest, and provides many illustrations as examples of art as protest. The book concludes by discussing how important art has been in facilitating new social values and in prompting political protests. Lena Jonson is Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Russia Research Program at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Stockholm.

Its four chapters present representative case studies encompassing a range of media, including prints and paintings, and artistic genres, such as still life, portraiture, landscape, and allegory, from the mid- through the late- seventeenth century. These episodes of exotic gift exchange and their manifestation in art belonged to public and private spheres, the gifting of men and women, and multiple classes of society. In analyzing these images, my methodology draws on close readings; socioeconomic, historical, pictorial, and cultural contexts; gender; and issues in gift theory, including reciprocity, identity, personalization, and commodity/gift status, to explore the pictures’ meanings or functions for their audiences.
