Grizzly Bear - Yellow House (2006)

This alternative indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York are currently spinning their psychedelic-folk symphonies in the UK. Glastonbury today, Hyde Park tomorrow.


Let's hope they play some of their older classics. Yellow House is four years old now but songs like 'Knife' and 'Colorado' still sound like hazy summer-day anthems. For the hippy in all of us.


This is 'Knife'.

Caribou - Sandy (2007)


From Caribou - Andorra (2007). I do like the new album Swim (2010), but I miss the psychedelic style that Dan Snaith was into on his previous two albums. With the falsetto anthemic vocal, fuzzy base, big drums and folk instruments, Sandy is a great modern update of the Beach Boys 60s sound.
