New Music: Grizzly Bear: "Two Weeks" (Live on "Late Show With David Letterman") [Stream/Video]

Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste has been hinting at a poppier mood for the Brooklyn experimental combo's forthcoming follow-up to the masterful Yellow House and Friend EP releases. As performed last night on "Late Show With David Letterman", new song "Two Weeks" is indeed "sunnier," as Droste had suggested, but it's also full of the soaring harmonies and sylvan intricacies that have made Grizzly Bear's previous works smarter (and awesomer) than the average. Accompanied by Thomas "Doveman" Bartlett, Droste & co. put bouncy Zombies keyboards over atmospheric guitars and clickety-clack drumming. "A routine malaise," Droste croons, a sentiment that's sunny only for a city where the building next door blocks out all your bedroom's natural light. Big thanks to ryann7739 and ratsnratsnrats! of atease web for the tip. (Note: the mp3 of this track has been removed at the request of the band's management.)
