An interview with Grizzly Bear
Thursday, November 5th, 2009
News that Grizzly Bear had made one of the year’s best albums in Veckatimest came months before its actual release date, thanks to a premature leak that made headlines all over the blogosphere. But the poor quality MP3s that found their way onto the computers of overexcited fans didn’t stop the band from reaching the Billboard’s top ten in album sales, a true testament to the rich, gorgeous songs found on Veckatimest, not to mention the growing interest in the band (Jay-Z and Beyonce!?).
On a tour stop in Toronto, members Ed Droste and Daniel Rossen spoke with Much about the album’s success, their freaky video for “Two Weeks,” cookies, Muppets and Droste’s link to the Hooters fortune.
