Grizzly Bear – Shields (2xLP)

The first meeting of the four band members after a long hiatus took place in Texas, when they took the time to reconnect as old friends and get back on the same wavelength as musicians. Accordingly, the grandiose result turns out.

For the first time Grizzly Bear write new songs together, for the first time the two singers Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen sing together, all titles carry the signature of each of the four members. You have never heard this band so united and forceful before.

"Shields" contains some of the biggest and boldest tracks Grizzly Bear have ever written, openly conveying their unconditional will for honest, unfiltered expression of emotion. The Grizzly Bear cosmos has its new peak!

Reviews

,,Grizzly Bear scale new heights with their experimental indie rock on their fourth album." (musikexpress, October 2012)

, "Coherent, partly elegiac folk rock - without the superfluous hit here." (stereoplay, November 2012)

,,Also on their current, fourth Album Shields the "Grizzlys" once again provide once again for a lot of happiness waves with their introverted and ecstatic sound somewhere between Between Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Incredible String Band Incredible String Band." (Good Times, December / January 2012)
