TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Oh the luscious chamber pop sounds of Grizzly Bear. In that harrowed school of bands with animal names they come in somewhere close to head of the class. After the opener you're treated to the first single "Two Weeks"(1). Sweet layers of vocal harmonies sweep you off your feet and out your bedroom window to float high above the city of your dreams. Taking some strides away from their last album, Yellow House, "Fine For Now"(2) increases their mission in scope and grandeur. Continuing to carry that torch further into the album "While You Wait For The Others"(3) ebbs and flows with pop hooks galore. This all builds to the album's epically beautiful climax, "I Live With You"(4). Just in time for summer Grizzly Bear bless us all with the wondrous psychedelic chaos that is their latest release. 12 tracks in all.
