Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
2008-02-10 12:05:00 The album art reflects the atmosphere used in the album perfectly, “Yellow House” is a very moody and gloomy album. It’s like a folk record played by four ghosts. There’s banjo used with sad tunes from far away. “Knife” looks like a quiet threatening ballad for a relationship full of discrepancies and lies and revenge is sweet (“Can’t You Feel the Knife?”) this is probably the best song on the disk. Yet, the record is precisely worked over to turn out cohesive and hauntingly atmospheric. The band has a very wise marketing strategy to extend their vivid presence by releasing an EP in 2007, “Friend” that includes alternate takes and covers of “Yellow House” by Zack Condon (Beirut), Band of Horses, CSS, Atlas Sound and others. It looks more like a “rarities” disk and not an EP (not everyone puts 10 songs in an EP). A very right-in-place use of instrumentation is applied to the tunes that does not cause noise (like most Built To Spill and Sonic Youth albums...

2007-08-10 15:35:00 My appreciation of music has always been deeply egotistical. I don't pay any attention to lyrics because I frankly don't care about the meaning the artist is attempting to convey. I care only about the meaning that I create -- arbitrarily and subjectively, yes, I admit -- as I hear the music.For me, Belle and Sebastian = my swirling sunny emotions in the summer of 1999. Camper Van Beethoven = driving back from my Dairy Queen job, night-time, humming merrily along to myself, high school 1990. I'm not so interested in the technical facts about these bands.Unsurprisingly, then, I've long been a fan of music with lyrics difficult to decipher: R.E.M., The Cocteau Twins, and so on. I'm also quite partial to music without any lyrics at all. This is the sort of music I can easily tack my memories to and claim as my own.Grizzly Bear's critically acclaimed 2006 release, Yellow House, is such an album. Since I first started listening to it a few weeks ago, it has become ever more entert...
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House [2006]
2007-06-18 05:05:00 Amazon.com It’s a rare thing to find a band that counts the glockenspiel, autoharp, banjo, and flute as key instruments, especially when it’s a rock band with just four members. Grizzly Bear use all the above instruments plus another dozen or so to make the 10 floating, gossamer, low-lit tunes that comprise Yellow House. They are ...
Blurred Landscape Photography: Volosko Yellow House
2007-01-31 12:34:00 I lived in the north Adriatic fishing village of Volosko, Croatia back in 2004 with my girlfriend and a heavy drinking Croat and his much younger bride with whom we shared a small (although lush!!) third story apartment. I didn't make a picture while I was there for many reasons not quite cohesively revelatory to me as I write this..Volosko has an artistic reputation as it hosts local as well as invited artists to "paint" the place.. works produced usually resulting in portrayals of the village's renowned rooftops and boats upside-down on asphalt and sail masts in distances. No one had a clue I was there which may or may not have been my own fault.. So while living in Opatija just a few minutes down the road or the flag stoned walk along the sea as you choose, I re-visited my old home recently and made this picture. Volosko as a place has about two great views of itself, (which of course is a challenge! yeah.. to YOU!), and this is one of them, just up on the main city street befo...

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
2006-09-28 14:54:01 ‘Yellow House’ is a gem that will completely blow the listener’s mind. Those familiar with Grizzly Bear (after their lo-fi debut ‘Horn Of Plenty’) knew the group had an attuned ear for group harmonies and discreet, devastating embellishment. But ‘Yellow House’ is a quantum leap forward in all aspects, a type of studio maturity and [...] |
