Free Music Notes for Friend
Free Music Review: An ever growing, amazing band...
Hit: 5 Stars
even on a sort of stop gap, odds and sodds release, this bands kicks out the best stuff out there. Constantly reinventing themselves, innovative and fresh, these guys remain one of my favorite bands still making music today. I'm particularly excited that they seem to have started recording tracks that sound a bit closer to their live sound, which encapsulates a lot more "rock" and doesn't dwell as much on the "folk". Something about their songs have infinite playability for me. Yellow House remains a CD I play as much as I did when I first got it.
The covers on here by other bands are fun, and ultimately just an added bonus for the bargain basement price of this "ep".
Highly recommend just about anything this band does, this EP is no exception
Friend Poster
It's fitting that Grizzly Bear has titled their 10-song EP Friend, as the thing sounds like it was recorded specifically for the band's buddies. We have alternate versions of songs from their previous LP Yellow House, some of their indie-rock friends covering their own songs, and a home demo version of one song. That said, if you are the type to buy a record for just one song, the group's wonderfully produced cover of the controversial, spooky, and brilliant Phil Spector/Carole King 1962 number "He Hit Me (And it Felt Like a Kiss)" is certainly worth it. The rest is not bad by any means, and Grizzly Bear does its best to create radically different versions of older songs. In particular, the "choir" version of "Alligator" has the thing sounding like Low, the Grateful Dead, and Sonic Youth all at once--and in a good way. The only real drawback of Friend that it whets the appetite for a more substantial offering of all-new material from these talented, Brooklyn-based folkie experimentalists. --Mike McGonigalAlternative Rock Music CDs
