Press Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "These former music students have constructed an album full of intricate songs that subtly changes with each listen....It's a beautiful piece of work. Q (Magazine) (p.126)
Steeped in Wilco's bittersweet Americana, and adding a Northeastern Gothic twinge, Grizzly Bear sound like they're trying to break your heart. Spin (p.86)
The musical emphasis subtly shifts, from track to track and within tracks to create something that feels rather greater than the sum of its parts. The Guardian
'Southern Point' opens the album on a high, its folksy textures of acoustic guitars, tambourine, dramatic drums and gentle harmonies blossoming gradually, via the addition of piano and strings, into a full-blown Van Dyke Parks-ian antique psych-rock extravaganza The Independent
...it's unequivocally one of the most beautiful albums you'll hear this year. Subtle, romantic and enchanting, it can make imaginary castaways of us all The Observer
Enigmatic, hype-justifying loveliness Uncut

Comments about WARP Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest:
I only heard/saw these guys for the first time at an indie concert in Cork last June. They were something else, so original in every way even down to the light show. Fortunately the songs lose nothing in the recording - the songs really are different, the production and arrangements work beautifully. Unusual guitar tunings and a plethora of soundscapes add up to a special album. Now I've got to get their previous two albums as I'm hooked lined and sinkered!

Nice relaxed album in asimilar vein to fleet foxes (but not as good). Original sounds and well orchestrated music, but occasionally feels a bit flat

Comments about WARP Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest:
I would say that this one is not really living up to the hype. It is poorly produced, with no clear distinction between the instruments, and the songs didn't really catch my fancy, either.
