Song of the Week

Grizzly Bear is back. "Yet Again" is a splendid-sounding track from the band's forthcoming third album, Shields.  It seems to have everything you could want: the prolonged, uncanny electric strums, the crackling, off-kilter drums, and the haunting, harmonic hums.  Vocal prominence and instrumental breakdown, of course.  You may recall that Veckatimest was the best album of 2009.  If this track doesn't get you excited for its follow-up, you must prefer this kind of grizzly experience.
