Slow on the uptake here perhaps, but this doesn't stop the fact that Grizzly Bear release new EP Friend on November 5, through Warp.
The release features a host of remixes, re-workings, rarities and covers from both Yellow House and Horn Of Plenty. Who's in? Beirut's Zach Condon sits alongside Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth and Amber Coffman to re-work 'Alligator', as well as Deerhunter's Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound); Band of Horses and CSS scything into tracks from last year's Yellow House. A fine array of other nonsense features including Daniel Rossen's home recording of 'Deep Blue Sea'.
Get. In. Volved:
'Alligator' (Choir Version feat. Zach Condon, Dave Longstreth, Amber Coffman) 'He Hit Me' 'Little Brother' (Electric) 'Shift' (Alternate Version) 'Plans' (Terrible vs. Nonhorse: Sounds Edit) 'Granny Diner' 'Knife' (Covered by CSS) 'Plans' (Covered by Band of Horses) 'Knife' (Covered by Atlas Sound) 'Deep Blue Sea' (Daniel Rossen home recording)
Purchase perchance? Pre-order Friend from Insound early enough and receive a limited edition lithograph.
