GRIZZLY BEAR: WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE OTHERS

I KEEP FORGETTIN’…THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN…

After waiting all summer to see Grizzly Bear play at the Williamsburg waterfront yesterday, and then getting subsequently thrown out  for stepping over the makeshift orange plastic fence into the measurably less crowded park area (thanks concert security!), I am at least feeling better about the whole incident after hearing the new Grizzly Bear collaboration with Michael ” I keep forgettin'” McDonald on the track “While You Wait For the Others.” A joke? Don’t say that, don’t say that, don’t say that. The Brooklyn indie animals and the husky bearded baritoned yaght rock singer from the doobs sings with the band…and its kind of amazing. The track is available on  iTunes, or you can order the 7″ directly from the band. Mcdonald also just contributed vocals for the electronica outfit “Holy Ghost!” which is scheduled to be released on the duo’s upcoming album this year as well. I smell a comeback. Can we get Patti Labelle in on the mix?
