Grizzly Bear at MASS Moca, June 16 For Immediate Release 5 March 2018 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] ***Media Advisory*** Grizzly Bear at MASS MoCA, June 16 Grizzly Bear Saturday, June 16, 8pm Hunter Center at MASS MoCA Tickets on sale beginning March 9, at 10am NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — One of the most celebrated indie rock acts of the last two decades, Grizzly Bear joins a summer concert lineup at MASS MoCA that includes Ray LaMontagne with special guest Neko Case (June 29), Courtney Barnett (July 12), and The Decemberists (June 15). The band performs in the Hunter Center, on Saturday, June 16, at 8pm. Grizzly Bear is touring in support of its first new album in five years, Painted Ruins. Rolling Stone praises the release: “Fully charged and ready to break new ground, this is the kind of post-hiatus comeback most bands' fans only dream of.” With humble beginnings as the home recording project of Boston-bred singer-songwriter Edward Droste, Grizzly Bear — Droste, multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rossen, multi-instrumentalist Christopher Bear, and vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Chris Taylor — made waves in 2005 releasing Horn of Plenty. In the ensuing two decades the quartet’s prog-rock-meets-chamber-pop sound took the music world by storm and helped to define a new wave of psychedelic-leaning sound. Grizzly Bear’s following six albums have received widespread critical acclaim. Painted Ruins dropped last August, making 2017 year-end lists in Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today.

  • 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.

  • Hello, I'm So Excited to Announce That the Fourth Fleet Foxes Album Shore, Fifteen Songs in Fifty-Five Minutes, Will Be Releas
    Hello, I’m so excited to announce that the fourth Fleet Foxes album Shore, fifteen songs in fifty-five minutes, will be released in full on September 22, the autumnal equinox. If you had asked me this past April, watching the world be rearranged and with a half-finished album on a hard drive in my closet, I would have told you the record was likely to never come out at all. So it is an enormous joy that it all came together in the way that it did and that we're able to share it so soon after its completion. WRITING I began writing Shore in September of 2018, right at the end of the 170-show tour for the last Fleet Foxes album Crack-Up. I’m very proud of that record, and of the tour we were able to mount around it, but living for that long inside Crack-Up’s dense compositions, and touring that relentlessly, left me in a quandary: I didn’t want to take another long break from music; I really wanted to work and feel useful, but I needed to find a new, brighter way of making songs if I was going to go straight into something large and ambitious again. I found myself listening more to Arthur Russell, Curtis Mayfield, Nina Simone, Michael Nau, Van Morrison, Sam Cooke, The Roches, João Gilberto, Piero Piccioni, Tim Bernardes, Tim Maia, Jai Paul, and Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou - music that is simultaneously complex and elemental, “sophisticated” and humane, propulsive rhythmi- cally but feathery melodically.

  • 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.

Rock music owed a lot to psychedelia. The search for a psychedelic sound had been the first and foremost motivation to cultivate progressive structures and creative arrangements. Without that motivation, rock music might have been stuck in Chuck Berry's riffs forever. Psychedelia was in a sense the "big bang" of rock music, from which the expansion began. However, after four decades it was difficult to see what that original impulse still had to offer that had not been heard already a thousand times. The sound of droning guitars was not particularly exciting anymore, shoegazing ecstasy was becoming the equivalent of the new-age music of the 1980s, and psychedelic folksingers were beginning to sound senile. Boston's Paradise Camp 23, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Erik Amlee, indulged in the 47-minute shapeless space-noise jam that takes up most of Bar-BQ Dungeon (2001) and then unleashed the 46-minute drone-based jam of Solitaire (2002), bathed in cosmic electronic noise. Seattle's duo Growing turned psychedelic trance into an austere and pure science with its subliminal ambient dronescapes for guitars and electronics: Epochal Reminiscence, off The Soul Of The Rainbow And The Harmony Of Light (2004), that diluted a folkish melody into a cycle of ear-piercing tones; the pulsating galactic tsunami Wide Open, off His Return (2005); the dense hyper-dilated slowly-shifting Blue Angels, off Color Wheel (2006).

  • 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.
