Grizzly Bear: new disc & tour coming this Spring

One of Brooklyn's biggest buzz bands, Grizzly Bear, will be releasing their long anticipated sophomore effort, Veckatimest, this May 26th on Warp Records. The new LP was recorded both in Cape Cod and New York, and is supposed to see the band delve into more layered and orchestral territory. The LP was named after an island the band visited while in Massachusetts. In addition to the new disc, the group will be taking to the road beginning on May 24th which sees them zig zagging from coast to coast (see all dates below).
