Grizzly Bear releases new album "Painted ruins"

Grizzly Bear has released Mourning Sound from their first album in five years PAINTED RUINS, out August 18 on RCA Records.

PAINTED RUINS has earned early praise from Rolling Stone, who called the new music “spellbinding.” The New York Times dubbed lead track “Three Rings” “insistent,” and Pigeons & Planes called it “a sonically ambitious return.” NPR Music called their single “Mourning Sound” “grand and focused, elegantly layered, delicate and dramatic,” and SPIN declared, “Grizzly Bear strike gold.”

PAINTED RUINS follows 2012’s Shields, which was a critical and commercial breakthrough. Debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 and named the #1 Album of the Year by Apple iTunes, Shields earned the band Pitchfork Best New Music and four star Rolling Stone reviews; performances on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Austin City Limits and Ellen; and sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

Grizzly Bear plays AB, Brussels on October 14th
