Rossen's lead guitar is heavily nuanced and stylized, even dipping into a little bit of heavy rock. And again they succeed without a shadow of a doubt. Lead single "Sleeping Ute" tries to do what "Southern Point" did on Veckatimest - quickly blow you away with Daniel Rossen's dizzying instrumentation and mellow croon. The first four tracks offer about as good of an opening salvo as you're ever like to hope for. Shields is even more adventurous than its predecessor by not only varying their formula, but by also pushing their songwriting and musicianship to yet another level. Veckatimest was by no means a restrained album, but if there was one weakness it was perhaps that they tended to rely on that formula a little much.

It took their pre-existing ideas and harnessed them into a set of 12 concise and cohesive songs. However, it was their third album, Veckatimest, that would serve as a key turning point for the band. Their sophomore release Yellow House established the band's core sound this is where they became known for their dreamy, pastoral chamber pop.
But they apparently aren't content, as Shields focuses on pushing their boundaries still further. The Brooklyn indie folk rockers utilized eclectic instrumentation and heart touching harmonies to set forth a body of work that became the envy of many bands. Review Summary: Grizzly Bear continue to push their sonic boundaries.įour albums into their career, Grizzly Bear are no longer developing into one of the best bands of our generation.
