Shazam’s Tag Of The Day! Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks
Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks (Warp)
The influential electronic label Warp Records has got a lot to celebrate these days. Right on time for the label’s 20th anniversary, Warp can also add to its history the achievement of breaking into the top 10 of the US album charts for the first time. Oddly enough, the honour belongs to one of its few non-electronic artists, Brooklyn alternative pop-folksters Grizzly Bear. Specializing in multilayered vocal harmonies and delicate mostly acoustic instrumentation, Grizzly Bear are a direct contrast to much of Warp’s roster that includes twisted electronic pioneers such as Aphex Twin and LFO. ‘Veckatimest’, the band’s third album, was received with widespread acclaim hailing Grizzly Bear as one of America’s indie musical forces. The album’s first official single, ‘Two Weeks’, is the closest to a summer hit they have ever created thanks to its laidback pace, pleasant falsetto chorus and ‘Who-haa’ vocals. Added to this, the band’s penchant for remixes reaches a new high with French master Fred Falke wrapping ‘Two weeks’ in breezy keyboard riffs and a mid-tempo rhythm that somehow evokes Norway’s Eighties icons, A-ha!
