Acclaimed Brooklyn-based indie rock band Grizzly Bear has announced today that they will be releasing a new album this fall, September 17/18th. After gaining much attention from their last album Veckatimest, which was released three years ago and reached #8 on Billboard 200, all eyes (and ears) are on them to produce an album that will gain just as much notoriety. After listening to “Sleeping Ute”, however, that doesn’t sound like it’s going to be much of a problem; the song is packed with powerful guitars and surging with high energy. According to the band, the album “represents the band’s most charged and concise collection of music to date.” Grizzly Bear will be going on an international tour starting September 16th and will also be playing a few festivals this summer too.
Listen to “Sleeping Ute” below and check out full Fall Tour Dates after the Jump…
