GRIZZLY BEAR
& very special guests: tbc
WHELAN'S, DUBLIN, FRI NOV 24
Tix €14 (plus booking fee) from WAV Box Office 1890 200 078, City Discs & Road Records
Brooklyn-based Grizzly Bear’s new album Yellow House, their debut for Warp Records (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada) places them at the very vanguard of modern songwriting, harbouring elements of psychedelica, americana, and electronica into a hazy, magical, ghostly masterpiece of an album. To see these four musicians recreate this intricate, complex, impossible music live is something to treasure. Their live set is based around an inventive use of traditional rock and folk tools with toy instruments, electronic devices and an array of effects pedals. At the heart of all is some wonderful romantic, cosmic songwriting. Do not miss them in action for their debut Irish performance.
Press Quotes:
“One of the year's best records.” - Pitchfork 9/10
“One of the most significantly original excavations of pop music of the last decade” - Foggy Notions
“It's like wandering through Brian Wilson's mind on a clear day in 1967. Yellow House isn't an album to dip into; instead you dive in and sink to the bottom, at once drenched in emotion and uplifted.” – The Guardian 4/5
“The production is more sophisticated, the arrangements more intricate, the melodies and harmonies more complex...” – Uncut 4/5
“Grizzly Bear become a necessity of their own.” – Sunday Times 4/5
“This excellent and diverse record deserves to reach an audience beyond those already seduced by similarly eclectic contemporaries (and near neighbours) Animal Collective and Sufjan Stevens.” – The Times 4/5
