(Photo by Music Snitch) “I don’t know how to talk about music,” admitted lead singer Victoria Legrande halfway through Beach House’s set at The Hollywood Palladium last night. Even though her between song stage banter could have been slightly more articulated (it was still pretty amusing), Legrande instead spoke to the audience through her band’s [...]

Grizzly Bear bassist/producer Chris Taylor (CANT) released his debut solo single, “Ghosts,” today on his own label, Terrible Records. Taylor’s lullaby ready voice, better known as a back-up, makes for a very engaging lead. Musically, it would be impossible not to draw comparisons to Grizzly Bear, especially the washed out production style (Taylor produced the [...]

Grizzly Bear recently performed some songs for Pitchfork TV’s “Cemetery Gates” in a chapel in the middle of a graveyard in Brooklyn. While that settles in, check out the above video of “Fix It,” a song from the band’s 2004 debut, Horn of Plenty. The best band of the year also cranked out incredible renditions [...]

Grizzly Bear returned to Letterman to perform Veckatimest’s beautiful “Ready, Able” with NYC’s ACME String Quartet. Lead singer Ed Droste Tweeted his excitement for an apology from Letterman about last time, and is also looking for a good place in Chicago to buy vintage sunglasses, if you know any. This band is one record away [...]

When Feist isn’t busy creating indie memes with Ed Droste, she can be found singing her Wilco collab with the band on scattered dates of their current tour. “You and I” made its way to Coney Island this week (where Wilco was also joined by Grizzly Bear’s Droste), which led to a very exciting Cyclone [...]

Here’s the latest remix project from NYC’s Soundmen, a 3 track EP mashing up Grizzly Bear and Lil Wayne. Not really as shocked by this as I could (perhaps, should) be, despite the fact that the below mash of “Two Weeks” and “Prom Queen” isn’t as good as I imagined. I’m gonna go ahead and [...]

Two Weeks I knew something twisted was going to happen here. It sort of reminded me of the scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where all the singing, big-grinned animatronic puppets get blown up and start melting. Wonderful. Maybe Grizzly Bear should go to the Puppet Hospital and Burn Center. (Via GvsB) Also, “Two [...]

I had a feeling like I had heard this song a year ago, and it has been bugging me for the past 12 minutes or so (that’s like a month in blog time). After some incessant Googling, I realized that this is the song they performed on Letterman last summer. Yes, it was just as [...]

Not surprisingly, another glimpse into Grizzly Bear’s new album reveals more amazing music. After a low quality leak of an excellent new Grizzly Bear track, “Cheerleader,” an official version has surfaced from the band’s upcoming album, Veckatimest. It’s the third full length from the NYC based band, and is due May 26. (Via I guess [...]
