grizzly bear

Even though it's not officially released until September 5th, I feel like I'm painfully late to mention just how wonderful Grizzly Bear's new album, Yellow House, really is. The album has been steadily growing on me since I received it about a month ago, but it wasn't until Matt showed me this video that I began to really appreciate this song. I'm still not sure how they make sweeping pop-folk this expansive and 'huge' feel so intimate and delicate and calming, but it's a thing of beauty.

Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen is also in a band called Department of Eagles, and the band tells me their stuff has an "'orchestral pop' vibe" similar to Grizzly Bear's, "but our stuff is a little simpler, less arranged, etc." I'm really enjoying this song, as well as the tracks on their myspace page.
