Brooklyn-based indie-rockers Grizzly Bear have announced that they'll release their first studio album for three years on September 18th, via Warp Records.
Recorded over the better part of a year, the album represents the band's most charged and concise collection of music to date and follows 2009's critical and commercial breakthrough, 'Veckatimest.' The album title and other details will be revealed soon, but for now, you can hear new track 'Sleeping Ute' here.
Grizzly Bear will also kick off an international tour September 16th, including their biggest hometown show to date September 24th at Radio City Music Hall in NYC, as well as a show at London's Brixton Academy. You can check out their tour dates below – as well as the tracklisting to their forthcoming new album.
The band's most recent record 'Veckatimest' debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Billboard Indie chart in 2009, and was one of the year's most lauded releases. It ranked #1 on the NPR Listener's Poll and Top 10 on year-end lists in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Pitchfork, SPIN, NME, Uncut, Clash, Rough Trade Shops and many more. In March 2012, The Wall Street Journal's Jim Fusilli declared it "one of the best rock discs of this century so far."
