Listen! Grizzly Bear – Sleeping Ute (plus new album details)

Someone has woken the bear – the Grizzly Bear (picture that being said in a mockumentary styled horror voice, and don’t read it as a lame pun intro, which to be fair, is how most of our posts start off). Grizzly Bear have finally announced the follow up to Veckatimist. The album is called….well, we actually don’t know the name of it yet. But it will be out on September 17/18, according to the notes that are posted in the YouTube file of an uploaded new song. Yes, we have a new Grizzly Bear song for you. It’s called Sleeping Ute, proving that the opening sentence was a better pun than you thought.

Bonus: We have tour dates. They are below the video for Sleeping Ute. Check them out and plan your stalking and road trips accordingly.
