Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste: songs that unravel

Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear helped shaped the sound of modern indie music. Across their five albums they layered intricate and nuanced guitar music with choirboy vocals and a whole lotta heart.They broke through in 2006 with their second album, Yellow House, but it was 2009’s Veckatimist which took Grizzly Bear to a whole new plane and became one of the most loved albums of the decade.To mark its 15th anniversary, I’m throwing back to a brilliant chat I had with frontman and founding member, Ed Droste back in 2018. Ed is a gorgeous human, and I have such fond memories of this conversation. With Grizzly Bear’s layered music in mind, I gave him the theme “songs that unravel.” Beach House - 'Master of None'Björk - 'Army of Me'Pavement - 'Fight This Generation'Aaliyah - 'One In A Million'Adele - 'Rolling In The Deep' (Jamie xx Shuffle)This episode was originally broadcast in 2018.
