In the six years that have passed since their most recent shows, the four members who first drifted into the group two decades ago as loose friends and even total strangers-Chris Bear, Ed Droste, Daniel Rossen, Chris Taylor-have drifted out into other things. They've made other music, pursued other careers, cultivated other families, lived other lives beyond the bounds of being this band. And now, for the first time since 2019, these four musicians and friends will drift back into Grizzly Bear, to test the ties that made them one of this century's most engrossing and beloved acts and see where else those old connections may yet lead. Because Grizzly Bear never broke up, their first shows in six years are not a reunion; they are a simultaneous point of arrival and departure, their next destination still unknown.That sort of open-ended approach, after all, is what still makes Grizzly Bear one of this youngcentury's defining acts. Twenty years ago, they quickly morphed from a lo-fi songwriter project to a full band with an instantly singular sound, uncanny harmonies slipping around arrangements that paired the glow of a chamber orchestra to the grit of a rock group. They helped to redefine what was possible within indie rock by balancing lushness with looseness, a technical excellence with an emotional openness. Their musical traces remain ubiquitous, bits of their unorthodox perspective on sound and texture now part of the firmament. Hearing these songs live in 2025 will feel less like shaking hands with the past, then, than seeing their fingerprints in the present, as if for the first time.These live shows will be accompanied by color vinyl album reissues of Yellow House, Veckatimest, Shields and Painted Ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51595984240935,"sku":"5056818803659","price":42.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4432613-3401287_1065bd68-2b01-4188-86f0-1b53b704edeb.jpg?v=1783412238"},{"product_id":"yo-la-tengo-i-can-hear-the-heart-beating-as-one-vinyl","title":"Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited double 120 gram vinyl LP pressing with digital download.

Zauner's first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; Psychopomp was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while Soft Sounds From Another Planet took the grief she held from her mother's death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world. Jubilee finds Michelle Zauner embracing ambition and, with it, her boldest ideas and songs yet. Inspired by records like Bjork's Homogenic, Zauner delivers bigness throughout - big ideas, big textures, colors, sounds and feelings. At a time when virtually everything feels extreme, Jubilee sets it's sights on maximal joy, imagination, and exhilaration. It is, in Michelle Zauner's words, \"\"a record about fighting to feel. I wanted to re-experience the pure, unadulterated joy of creation... The songs are about recalling the optimism of youth and applying it to adulthood. They're about making difficult choices, fighting ignominious impulses and honoring commitments, confronting the constant struggle we have with ourselves to be better people.\"\" Throughout Jubilee, Zauner pours her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details.

Bright guitars swirl serpentine over looping, groovy post-punk bass lines and drums that border on robotic precision. While the initial rawness of the band's early output remains, the songwriting has gracefully evolved. Primary wordsmiths A. Savage and Austin Brown combine for a dynamic lyrical experience, one part an erudite overflow of ideas, the other an exercise in laid-back observation. Lyrically dense, the poetry is in how it flows along with the melody, often times as locked-in as the rhythm section.\"\"This record is for the over-socialized victims of the 1990's 'you can be anything you want', Nickelodeon-induced lethargy that ran away from home not out of any wide-eyed big city daydream, but just out of a subconscious return to America's scandalous origin, \"\" writes Savage in the album's scratched-out liner notes.

There's just enough angst and tastelessness to have the album speak to teenagers of all generations and just enough complicated emotion to make this music resonate with listeners long past those awkward years, whether they grew up with this album or not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51600450945319,"sku":"081227954710","price":32.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/3059665.jpg?v=1783461161"},{"product_id":"guided-by-voices-bee-thousand-vinyl","title":"Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited virgin vinyl LP pressing including digital download.

The set also includes a booklet with an in-depth essay by journalist\/author Bob Mehr. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was widely acclaimed as one of 2002's best albums, appearing in year-end lists of Mojo, NME, Q, Rolling Stone, and Uncut, among many others. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot also was featured in multiple decade-end lists, with Rolling Stone naming it #3 Album of the 2000s, as well as many Greatest Albums of All Time lists, including in the NME. Among Yankee's inspirations was a recording Tweedy bought at Tower Records in the late 1990s, The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations. As Bob Mehr points out in his new album note, the record got \"\"deep under Tweedy's skin. \"\" Tweedy said in his 2017 memoir, Let's Go (So We Can Get Back), \"\"It was as fascinating to me as anything being made by actual musicians using actual instruments... I wanted to know why it was so hypnotic to me. Why could I listen to hours of this stuff, even though I had no clue what any of them were saying. That question became the foundation for Yankee Hotel Foxtrot... The way people communicated or ultimately failed to communicate. \"\" The album takes it's title from a haunting recording of a woman repeating those words that is included in The Conet Project; that recording is sampled in the penultimate song on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, \"\"Poor Places. \"\"Conceptually, Tweedy had decided to focus on a big idea for the next album: the state of America. His lyrics-often distilled from scribbled pages of free verse or poetry-became a form of inquiry,\"\" Mehr continues. Tweedy said, in 2004, \"\"I wanted to write about the stuff right in front of my eyes, microscopically looking at America and asking questions about each little thing... How can there be all these good things and things that I love about America, alongside all of these things that I'm ashamed of? And that was an internal question, too; I think I felt that way about myself. \"\"Mehr says, \"\"Exploring those questions, while weaving in strands of Eastern philosophy and bits of autobiography-Yankee lyrics would be loaded with the pained imagery of someone suffering from migraines and mental health issues-Tweedy would conjure a deep examination of both country and self. \"\"Describing the uncanny, strangely prescient feeling of the album, which Wilco began offering as a free stream on it's website in 2001, Mehr notes: \"\"In the wake of 9\/11, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot would be burdened with unintended meaning. The disc had originally been scheduled for a September 11 release. It's cover-a Sam Jones-shot image of Chicago's twin Marina Towers angled in looming fashion-bore an eerie resemblance to the felled World Trade Center towers. And the songs-with titles like 'Ashes of American Flags' and 'War on War,' and lyrics about how 'tall buildings shake, sad voices escape'-took on a terrible new resonance. \"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603433980199,"sku":"075597913538","price":195.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4093851-2831545_eb5c66ce-37b6-4059-8400-cb8d633c6dcc.jpg?v=1783478530"},{"product_id":"pixies-surfer-rosa-cd","title":"Pixies - Surfer Rosa (Remastered) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese classic studio albums were re-mastered from the original tapes and are now available at a low midline price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603618955559,"sku":"652637803020","price":19.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/505031.jpg?v=1783481369"},{"product_id":"lcd-soundsystem-sound-of-silver-vinyl","title":"LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver 2xLP","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, returns with his highly anticipated new album Sound of Silver on DFA Records.
