Grizzly Bear has released "Neighbors," the fourth new song from their forthcoming album ‘Painted Ruins’ (8/18, RCA).
The band also appears on the covers of the new issues of two magazines.
"Neighbors" follows the release of three other tracks from ‘Painted Ruins’including Three Rings, Mourning Sound and Four Cypresses, which NPR Music called “a simmering, moody reflection on the state of a world in chaos.”
‘Painted Ruins’ has earned early praise from Rolling Stone, who called the new music “spellbinding.” The New York Times dubbed lead track Three Rings “insistent,” and Pigeons & Planes called it “a sonically ambitious return.” NPR Music called their single Mourning Sound “grand and focused, elegantly layered, delicate and dramatic,” and SPIN declared, “Grizzly Bear strike gold.”
‘Painted Ruins’ follows 2012’s ‘Sheilds’ which was a critical and commercial breakthrough. Debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 and named the #1 Album of the Year by Apple iTunes, it earned the band Pitchfork Best New Music and four star Rolling Stone reviews; performances on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Austin City Limits and Ellen; and sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
