    Think of New Moon as a sort of survey course in new-now-next rock: a mixtape with teeth.

    Grizzly Bear contributes a typically gorgeous psych-folk incantation called "Slow Life" (with guest vocals from Beach House's Victoria Legrand), and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon duets with St. Vincent on "Roslyn," which could warm even a vampire's heart.

    As an album, the moments of intelligent beauty aren't quite obscured by the gloom-by-numbers and, considering how rabidly commercial this really is, that's something of a little victory.

    I'd be the first to condemn Stephanie Meyer and Twilight. I'm an anti-fan. But the music snob within me can't ignore an album with Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, and Bon Iver on it. It's a good listen and I have to put my dislike for the franchise aside - audiophiles should be well pleased.… Expand

    3-4 good songs at most with Grizzly Bear being one of them. The rest are nothing special.
