Aug 23, 2018Great bonus to get with the "Shields" album for fans of the band. "Smothering Green" has the classic early Grizzly Bear sound. The remixes are fairly generic. The rest of the EP is good for fans but might lose any newcomers fairly early. It is a B-Sides EP afterall.

Nov 25, 2013While the Nicolas Jaar, Liars and Lindstrøm remixes add synthetic space to ‘Sleeping Ute’, ‘A Simple Answer’ and a Daft-ly disco ‘Gun-Shy’ respectively, it’s the fragile new tracks ‘Smothering Green’ (a muted, modernist Cole Porter clatter), ‘Taken Down’ (falsetto Fleet Foxes) and the two versions of ‘Everyone I Know’ (one churchy, one space-jazz meltdown renamed ‘Will Calls (Marfa Demo)’) that are the real treasures here.

Nov 15, 2013Though not quite as compositionally adventurous as Shields, these demos and bonus tracks are equally emotionally resonant--it’s an insight into what Shields could have been--and what we might have to look forward to in the future.

Nov 15, 2013This eight-song set provides a bit of insight into the evolution of Grizzly Bear's ever-ripening sound.
