Song of the Week

Veckatimest
After Grizzly Bear's sublime 2007 album, Yellow House, The D Man has been eagerly looking forward to the next reincarnation of the band's baroque melodies and haunting indie-orchestration.  "Two Weeks," from the forthcoming Veckatimist (an island off the coast of Massachusetts), suggests it was well worth the wait.  Check out the recent Letterman performance and the fan video set to the famous French film Le Ballon Rouge, which seems to be a perfect setting for the sunny qualities of this brilliant song.  Easily one of the year's best.
