Warp's latest signing GRIZZLY BEAR have released their debut album for the label. This has a kind of trippy psychedelic acid hippy vibe going on that seems to permeate a lot of stuff coming out now. 'Lullabye' reminds me of something from Brian (Genius) Wilson's excellent 'Smile' long player. Infact I think If he made post-rock it would sound like this. There are some really subtle electronics on here that just add that little bit extra and bring the sound slightly more up to date. I wasn't sure about this at first but I'm warming to it gradually. I suspect if Phil were here he'd be bagging one of these. If you buy the vinyl then you get a CD copy of the album which is well Shellac...but if you buy the CD instead of the vinyl you're probably retarded anyway or have some kind of serious issues in your brain that unfortunately none of Team Norman can help you with. Good luck.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Well well well, Warp have really got a classic here, Ed Droste's Grizzly Bear on their second album in sparkling full band form, creating one of the albums of the year and certainly one of the most beautiful albums Warp has ever released.

Think of classic Americana, the arrangement's of classic musicals, Brian Wilson's imaginative collaborator Van Dyke Parkes, Love's acid-baked Calfornian psychedelia, beautiful harmonies, baroque, oceanic instrumentation and subtle electronics, all shot through with a thoughtful post-rock sensibility. No wonder everyone from Kit Clayton, Dntel, Soft Pink Truth, Solex, Ariel Pink and Final Fantasy lined up to remix their last album, and TV on the Radio have asked them on their US tour.

This album will warm the hearts of the most jaded music fan slowly but surely we can assure you, it's melodies will stick in your mind, the ethereal lyrics are charming and candid and we're sure it be on many people's stereos as Summer turns to Autumn and beyond.

To top it off, the artwork of the delapidated house it was recorded at is stunning too. An understated masterpiece.
