Grizzly Bear Release Friend EP in November

Grizzly Bear have been running through the ten cuts on Yellow House (with a few covers thrown in for spice) for some time now. And, stupendous though the album is, a tour-happy band like Grizzly Bear--who, with this news item, have earned their fourth reference in Pitchfork news today-- need to keep themselves fresh, both for themselves and their fans.

So they've made a new Friend, a brand new ten-track (!) EP, who will hopefully assist in the band's big move out of the Yellow House. Though Friend is currently sans tracklist, it moves in November 6 on Warp.

In the meantime, Grizzly Bear-- as always-- are touring.
