Pitchfork

Indeed, 'tis truly a pairing made by and for winsome weirdos: Brooklynite booger-drowners Grizzly Bear will open a slew of American dates for Canuck chanteuse Feist, immediately following the lady's previously reported Canadian dates.

In case you need a Reminder reminder (groan), Leslie will release her bewitching new album May 1 in the U.S. via CherryTree/Interscope and in Canada from Arts & Crafts. In case you're too lazy to scroll down one story, Feist will also appear on the Hottest State soundtrack.

In other Grizzly Bear news, they'll host MTV2's "Subterranean" this weekend, but won't play three shows at liberal arts colleges across the eastern seaboard due to a death in the family. They will so totally be playing the Pitchfork Music Festival, however, and they've contributed a new tune called "Black Current Jam" to a forthcoming David Shrigley comp on Tomlab.

In other Feist news, Feist is my girlfriend, and we are in love.

A disclaimer: some of today's Feist/Grizzly Bear news story may be made up.

EDIT: via MySpace, Grizzly Bear have reported that they've cancelled the Solana Beach, CA date they shared with Feist, pushed up their San Fran gig, and will be opening for old girl in Chicago. Score!
