Grizzly Bear is prepping for the release of their newest studio album, Shields, due out September 18th. Just yesterday the band released the second single to their upcoming album. The melody may not be catchy, but after a few listens it becomes enjoyable. I like that Grizzly Bear’s newest single has a different sound from their last one and past work. Shields definitely will be an interesting project to say the least. The Brooklyn based indie rocky band is gaining a lot of popularity as they will be playing on the Colbert Report next week and going on an international tour starting in October. You can view the tour dates below the music video.
