Grizzly Bear @ Billboard
0 Comments. 369 Views. Posted 27 Nov 2012 @ 1:47pm.
Performing support duties tonight, Kirin J Callinan made his third Melbourne appearance of 2012. He must be a real cunt to work with or something, as each respective appearance has featured an entirely different backing band. After an elongated showcase of his wonderfully stunted banter, Kirin played his haunting paedophile-as-protagonist ballad Thighs in solo mode, with each sudden burst of... Read More

A lot has happened in the world of Grizzly Bear between the release of their universally acclaimed Veckatimest in 2009 and the release of the band’s stunning fourth full-length album Shields. A variety of side projects were explored, wedding bells chimed, and an album’s worth of material was recorded in the searing Texan heat only to be left on the scrapheap. On the eve of a... Read More

Grizzly Bear For Harvest?

It looks like we were on the money when we tipped Grizzly Bear for Harvest 2012 - the band have announced a world tour with a tidy Harvest-sized hole in November.  According to their just-released global tour schedule, the band leave Holland on November 5 and hit New Zealand on November 20, leaving a glaring gap which coincides with the already-announced Harvest 2012 dates.   The...

Looking back, last year's Harvest lineup was nothing short of fucking awesome. And despite a few logistical mishaps in the inaugural Melbourne leg, the festival established itself as one of the giants on the calendar. As a result, expectations are running high for this year's instalment. Let's take a look at who might be gracing the lush surrounds of Werribee Mansion. First up, we can rule out... Read More
Daniel Rossen : Silent Hour/Golden Mile
0 Comments. 954 Views. Posted 13 Apr 2012 @ 10:36am.
  While the collective musical world awaits the follow-up to Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest with baited breath, their members have instead spent the downtime working on various other projects. The latest of which is this tidy little EP from guitarist/vocalist Daniel Rossen.   It’d be natural to assume that Silent Hour/Golden Mile is merely an extension of his dayjob with one of indie rock’...

So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?The band’s name is Neighbourhood Youth. My name is John Philip, and I sing and play guitar.   Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?I find it really hard to answer this question. We’ve been told we sound like The White Lies, The Maccabees, and TV On The Radio, but... Read More
CANT

When the first cut from Chris 'Grizzly Bear' Taylor's solo project CANT found its way onto the internet in 2009 - a track called Ghosts which he released as a 7-inch on his own Terrible Records imprint - he gave an interview to Pitchfork where he joked that the name was a taunt to himself; a punning prod at his inability to finish one of his own songs, ever. Ghosts , he...

Husky

You could forgive Husky Gawenda and Gideon Preiss for being nervous. Their self-produced debut full-length, Forever So , is just days away from release. Yet in the late afternoon sunshine at Southbank, vocalist/guitarist Gawenda and keyboardist Preiss sound remarkably self-assured and mature, all things considered. Over a few ginger beers and chips, half of Husky don't look like a young... Read More
Wintercoats : Sketches

Cathedral, the debut EP from Melbourne-based soundsmith James Wallace [aka Wintercoats], has garnered a slow-building wave of universal acclaim since its release mid-2010. Even in the month leading up to the release of the fully realised EP Sketches, Wintercoats’ debut was still being subjected to fresh blog adoration around the world. This somewhat unassuming buildup has led to an avoidance of... Read More

Cant : Dreams Come True
0 Comments. 1,334 Views. Posted 13 Oct 2011 @ 9:22am.
The immediate thing that will impress you about the debut album for CANT is the production. Chris Taylor did a masterful job of producing the last couple of Grizzly Bear releases and he is now the co-founder of his own label, Terrible Records. Perhaps a less familiar role for him is as a frontman/solo performer - though when you experience Grizzly Bear live, you're reminded that Taylor's voice is... Read More
