Grizzly Bear - Veckatimist
Every release from indie rock darlings Grizzly Bear has been better than the last. So, it’s no surprise that the new album, Veckatimest, does not disappoint. In a year of successful new releases from established artists, Grizzly Bear’s latest is already in a tight race for best album of the year. Grizzly Bear is often hard to classify. The same goes for Veckatimist. Not really psychedelic, not completely folk; Vintage, but modern; Experimental, but timeless. It straddles all of these lines and hovers above them with the diaphanous style of a humming bird. They’re tour starts in May, and if you haven’t seen these guys live yet, go! One of my personal favorite live performers.

Grizzly Bear announce new tour dates

Yes, Grizzly Bear’s new album Veckatimest did leak the other day (much to the chagrin of Ed Droste, according to his twitter), but don’t expect to see any tunes posted here.  I’m perfectly fine with waiting until May 26 when Warp finally releases the highly anticipated album.  Though, the word from most everyone who has heard it has been very positive.  This obviously doesn’t surprise me, I mean, have you heard those live versions?  Those songs are so good.  They’re definitely reaching for the stars with this one.

Anyways, here are the dates for the upcoming tour which will coincide with the release of Veckatimest.  I’ve regrettably passed on every chance I’ve had to see them in person, so i’m hoping to not make the same mistake this time around.
