Pitchfork

Come see the softer side of Grizzly Bear, with these two previously unreleased acoustic versions of "Shift" (from their debut Horn of Plenty) and "Reprise" (from this year's Yellow House). Originally recorded earlier this week for a French radio session but never aired, these takes feature the band in rainy-day mode, sleepwalking (in a good way) through the finger-picked fog.

The Grizz also recently got their acoustic on for AOL's Interface podcast series, performing "Plans", "Shift", "On a Neck, On a Spit", "Little Brother", and "Knife" (the latter including exaggerated doo-wop vocals and finger snap percussion). In addition to the tunes, the band sat down for an interview, in which they admitted that they're part of the Brooklyn gentrification problem and called TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone "the guy with all the hair on his head and face".

Grizzly Bear are on tour in Europe as we speak.
