People often talk of a song that can save your life.For me that song is Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks".It has a heavenly ambience that can be truly appreciated only if you listen to the song;that is created via the amazing vocal work of all the four members of the band.Truly stunning;you feel nothing can go wrong while you listen to the song.The music provides a steady beat in the meantime.
The next Grizzly Bear song i heard was "Knife".It seemed to lack the momentous impact of "Two Weeks". It 's a bit overlong,but the vocals can do no wrong.
The song which probably surpasses "Two Weeks" is "While You Wait For The Others".Impatience regarding an unwanted person has never been expressed so bitterly and so eloquently.I think music wise this is the song i liked the most.The gradually increasing crescendo of the aforementioned vocals at the end of the song packs a punch.
The most recent song i've heard is "Cheerleader".They're still going strong.
All the four songs i've heard are from the album "Veckatimest".After hearing them i cant stop listening to them;am not even motivated to seek out the remaining songs of the album.
I'd like to thank Sanjoy Narayan,the editor of the Hindustan Times whose weekly column "Download Central" is the reason i got to hear this USA band in the first place.God bless.
