Scott's Top 10 Albums of 2009: Number 4


4. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest


Grizzly Bear has been crafting their complex brand of indie pop since 2006's Yellow House (a previous album, Horn of Plenty, was released prior to that, but was largely the work of co-frontman Ed Droste). With Veckatimest (don't ask me how to say it), the band continues to paint broad sonic canvases - the album sounds so precisely orchestrated, while simultaneously very organic. I tend to prefer the Dan Rossen fronted songs, but they're aren't many missteps on this outstanding album.
