Check Out: Grizzly Bear

When you have no money, you turn to the small priceless treasures in life. Like rain and music. You may have already herd of Grizzly Bear which actually released Yellow House in 2006, which saw medeocre approbation. But their new album, Veckatimist feels (as, self proclaimed) "more confidant, mature, focused—and most of all, dynamic." They have a sound of soulful melancholy. For fans of Beirut, Andrew Bird, Fleet Foxes-esque. Also kindof like outrageously enjoyable elevator music, somewhat maudlin but in a good way. Worthy of a Wes Anderson Soundtrack (big shoes to fill). They've also received wide acclaim from Rolling Stone, NME, The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, and a littany of other music and lifestyle commentairies, and now Dollar Diplomacy. Check them and this music video out for "Two Weeks" (I'm still deciding how I feel about it.)

The video reminds me of a Norman Rockwell/ Tim Burton (a la Edward Scissorhands,Sweeny Todd) collaboration.

Also, this is directed by Patrick Daughters who has worked with everyone:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kings of Leon, Death Cab, Muse, Feist, Snow Patrol, Beck, The Shins, Bright Eyes, Mika,

Interpol, Depeche Mode.

isn't that sick?

Anyway, comment and let me know what you think about the music and the Band. Live your life, Sasha.
