from BEAR page 15 make a perfect companion to those lazy days when all there is to do is put a record on and drift away in a musical rev- erie. Indeed, Grizzly Bear’s songs almost feel like a journey through a daydream fi lled with lush, ethereal instrumentation and sparse lyrics. With each repeated listen, new details and layers are brought to the surface of the listener’s consciousness. Their style is marked by a conjoining of seemingly opposite concepts: the old and the new, the melancholy and the hopeful, the simple and the complex. The music does not loudly demand that its audience listen to it, but instead softly coerces those who hear it to come back again and again in order to discover something new to take away. Samples of Grizzly Bear’s music can be found online at www.grizzly-bear.net. For those looking for one last adventure before school starts back up again, Grizzly Bear is also touring with Radiohead in early August.
