Grizzly Bear's Edward Droste has been slowly leaking information to the populace about Grizzly Bear's highly anticipated new album through his twitter page: how the recording is going, what stages they're at, etc. Well, finally after the bewildering and rather non-helpful clue that the album begins with a "V", Ed has revealed to us that the album's official title is Veckatimest. What? According to Wikipedia, "Veckatimest Island is one of the Elizabeth Islands of Dukes County, Massachusetts...and was uninhabited as of the 2000 census." Ed also recommends it as "a pretty speck of land to explore." Now we only have to wait and here the thing, which doesn't have an official release date, but is due to surface in May. I really hope the completed version does not get leaked. Here are some live recordings of a couple songs on the album.
