Live Review: LISTEN: Grizzly Bear 'Yet Again'

Oh GRIZZLY BEAR, you sure know how to treat us right.

Since they announced the release of their new album Shields (out mid-September), the Brooklyn boys with a knack for achingly beautiful orchestral pop music have teased us with some huge spacey sounds on the impressive ‘Sleeping Ute’, and have just released a second single called ‘Yet Again’.

The track starts out a little more conventional than ‘Sleeping Ute’, but it definitely seems like the stadium sized sounds aren’t going away in a hurry. There are heavy echoing drums and layers of spiralling guitar that slice through Ed Droste’s tender vocal before building to a frantic end that you can imagine tearing the roof off of festival stages in the very near future. More evidence that the world better clear some room for Shields, cause it’s gonna be massive.
