Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest
On Veckatimest, Grizzly Bear hone the multi-instrumental soundscapes of Yellow House into a series of far more individualized and fully-realized songs, wonderfully absorbing musical worlds (see the impossibly gleeful sunshine pop of “Two Weeks”, the acoustic grandeur of “Southern Point”, or the moody ballad “Ready, Able”) – watch out for the album’s forgettable middle stretch though, where their subtly expert songcraft wears a bit thin until they manage to pull it all back together again.
