The band Grizzly Bear came out with an album in 2009 titled, Veckatimest this was the first album that gave us a glimpse as to what Grizzly Bear would develop to look like in 2016. For the most part Grizzly Bear remains in the same genre: psychedelic pop, indie rock, and art rock. The band started with Ed Droste as a soloist, then time later the band was formed. The new band composed Yellow House in the year 2006. Yellow House was a darker and creepier album in comparison to Veckatimest. As of today, the band has presented the country with a newer album: Shields, which was released in 2012. In my opinion Grizzly Bear is like a good wine that gets better as it ages. The band progresses in skill with each album that comes, and the product is bigger and better than the one before.

The instruments tend to be played with the clashing of chords which give the songs that gothic or hippie sound. Usually, pop songs are harmonious at all angles, but Veckatimest defies what is normal, and they create music that is spacious, creepy, and full of wonder. In the album, the songs themselves don’t seem to change much as the album progresses but the vocals make the
