[[Last week, Grizzly Bear released Veckatimest, an album that offers an impressive
compendium of songs featuring discordant arrangements flushed with acoustic and 
electric instrument experimentations, warm harmonic choruses. There are a few great,
stand-out tracks that skittle along, curve, blend and swirl around wonderful story-
telling; the most notable include “About Face”, “All We Ask”, “Cheerleader” and “
Foreground”.

Although I do think Grizzly Bear are over-hyped at times on some popular music sites,
they are accomplished musicians, who create enchanting, intricate musical compositions.
That said, some people may find Veckatimest a bit strong on the melancholy and experimentation;
it’s definitely not sun-drenched beach pop. However, there are a few bright spots,
most notably on the minimalist Beach Boys-sounding track “Two Weeks”, which is the
most non-GB like song on the album.
