On the first run through the fourth album Shields, it may seem like Daniel Rossen is in charge as it’s track four highlight ‘Yet Again’ before we hear the sweet sound of Ed Droste’s voice. After the impressive step up of 2007’s Friend EP, 2009’s Veckatimest was the highpoint of their catalogue a fully-realised album characterised by dense but capacious bright arrangements and earworm pop melodies as heard on ‘Two Weeks’, ‘Cheerleader’ and ‘While You Wait For The Others’. 2006’s Yellow House was the first album to establish the band and the sound, a snakey, forlorn trip through psychedelic pastures and atmospheric entrancing melodies (prompting one dude to say the album syncs up perfectly with Jean Pierre Jeunet’s The City Of Lost Children). ![]() A quick look back to Grizzly Bear past before I address Shields.
