A masterful record.
-
Beyond production, Grizzly Bear have stepped up their songwriting in every way, assembling melodies that proceed in a logical fashion but never sound overused or overly familiar. Yellow House is a much better record than we could rightfully have expected from these guys, better, even, than we could have imagined them making.
-
UncutThe production is more sophisticated, the arrangements more intricate, the melodies and harmonies more complex. [Oct 2006, p.106]
-
There's a kind of timeless haze that drifts through 'Yellow House' and makes it a pleasingly elusive listen.
-
Under The RadarThis isn't a folk record by any means, but it's the one Grizzly Bear should have been making all along. [Summer 2006, p.81]
-
This is a subtle, whispered scream of a work, one that demands nothing of a consumer’s time but pays decent dividends for those willing to make the investment.
-
MojoThere's little discernable rhyme or reason holding it all together. [Oct 2006, p.110]
