Grizzly Bear: Friend EP
By Megan • Nov 12th, 2007 • Category: Music, News for Creatives (archives)Ryan Schreiber at Pitchfork reports:
“The tracklist of Grizzly Bear’s new Friend EP suggests it’s just your average collection of odds and ends, but it’s a trick: Actually a well-disguised 31-minute mini-LP of newly recorded (and largely newly written) material, it marks the band’s greatest leap forward yet, transforming them from purveyors of delicate fairytale psych to steamrolling rock juggernauts. Never mind guest spots from Beirut, Band of Horses, CSS, the Dirty Projectors, and Atlas Sound: It’s the band’s own work that shines here, making their previous heights of pop accessibility sound formless by comparison.”
