It’s been 15 years since Grizzly Bear released their beautiful breakthrough album, Yellow House.
The record, which came out in 2006, was the New York band’s second album, and their first recorded as a full band – sounding like no other group in 2006.
Yellow House is a timeless blend of wistful folk rock, unexpected indie pop hooks and minimalist orchestration. The lo-fi has gone large-scale, each song slowly unfurling to reveal dense, dreamy rhythms, choirs of silky voices and opulent melodies rich in atmospherics.
Of course Grizzly Bear would go on to refine and experiment with their sound further on each successive release, but they never did get back to the raw elemental power that they displayed on Yellow House.
Whether it’ll be your first time or your hundredth, there’s never been a better time to walk straight through the doors of the Yellow House and see what you might find.

…by the end of it you’re left with a simple, indescribable feeling of catharsis that only albums this unique, this wonderful, provide.

…one of the year’s best records.

It’s one of those more timeless works, the ones that years down the line may linger and appear as if they could’ve come from any handful of eras at once
