Yellow House - Warp Records


The upcoming album Yellow House (released on September 4th) puts Grizzly Bear at the vanguard of ambitious contemporary song writing, with meticulous instrumentation and arrangements their specialty.

They're remarkable not just for their attention to detail but for their concern for how a song feels: flush with heart and melancholy, their music is seductive and intimate, deep with hazy-eyed choruses, whistles, piano and banjo. Magical, haunting melodies are their mainstay. They know ambiance and atmosphere are necessary complements. This is breathtaking, cinematic and experimental pop with love for classics and standards.

Yellow House will mark the band's debut for Warp Records (well known for nurturing talents like Aphex Twin, Jamie Lidell, Boards of Canada and Broadcast), melding the guerrilla spirit of the digital age with the classic American songbook.

The Minus One on slide show now playing "The Minus One" is the name of the group Dana Alberts, Liam Hart and Mike Henry started in the eighties. The band released four singles through the "Skate Rock" series through Thrasher Magazine, and appeared on “One Giant Leap”, a compilation record released in England on Venture Records in 1983. The next year, they recorded “Where A Man Was Made,” with Spencer Dryden on drums (Jefferson Airplane drummer) and Naomi Ruth Isenberg (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) on violin. Minus One toured the U.S. in 1985 with the VKTMS, the punk band formed by drummer Louis Gwerder and featuring Nyna Crawford. Later that year Alberts was approached by Danny Sugerman, the author and former manager of the “Doors, and Iggy Pop's manager, after Sugerman had heard a tape of the band. This led them to an offer of a record deal from Geffen Records. The band, broke up before the deal could be consummated. They reformed in late 2006, and are be currently rehearsing to play extensively in 2007.
