Description
Shields is the fourth and most anticipated Grizzly Bear album to date. After long spans of shows Grizzly Bear's members took a break to live their own lives. Trips were taken, and friendships were restored; families were visited, and solo projects were finished. The potential energy gathered in tour vans and buses, in studios and on stages for years was finally released, giving the individual band's pieces the chance to recover and, after a year, return to being Grizzly Bear.
The whole band wrote songs together, taking each other's ideas and extending them. And for the first time, they tended to move forward only with the songs that were most open to true quartet collaboration. Asked which tunes on Shields belong to which songwriter, every member balks and explains that, for the first time, these are actually full-band numbers. Both in process and product, this is Grizzly Bear as they've never been.
"This has a different energy behind it," concludes Droste. "Veckatimest was a little more of a polite album; the desire to keep the vocals smooth might have kept a little distance between us and the audience. This one feels a bit more rough and exposed, so that on Shields, everything speaks for itself."
Opened only to check color of vinyl. You're seeing as much of the vinyl as I have. Also would prefer to slip out of sleeve to prevent splits. This record is big and will be shipped in a big and secure package!
