FEATURED VINYL ARRIVALS
Grizzly Bear: Shields (Warp)
Grizzly Bear is a band that has spent its entire career pushing against the boundaries of possibility within its own inherently limited medium of popular song. From the project’s modest beginnings as Ed Droste’s lo-fi home recording project, through Yellow House’s psych-folk experimentations and culminating with Veckatimest’s ornately detailed indie-pop, Grizzly Bear’s defining characteristic throughout has been a hunger for perfection. As more and more of their indie rocking peers drifted into the swirling bloops and bleeps of programmed electronic music, Grizzly Bear remained committed to organic instrumentation, achieving their instantly recognizable sound through the harmonic complexities of detuned guitars and multilayered voices, accentuated by intricate yet understated rhythms and a fluid, nonlinear approach to the structural arrangement of these elements. Each member plays a critical role in the cultivation of this sound with Droste and Daniel Rossen trading off on lead vocals, guitars and keys while drummer Chris Bear and multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor breathe life and energy into the band’s baroque compositions, assembling rhythmic foundations that are both understated and deceptively complex. — Popmatters.com

Matthew E. White: Big Inner (Hometapes / Spacebomb)
Matthew E. White’s Big Inner, the solo debut from the bandleader of Richmond, VA-based jazz band Fight the Big Bull, is the first release on White’s own Spacebomb Records imprint. More than just a record label, though, Spacebomb Records represents a remarkably ambitious project headed by White which includes a recording studio and, in a throwback to the days of Stax Records, a house band, with the idea being that artists signed to Spacebomb will trek up to the Spacebomb Records studio and record with the house band. Big Inner, then, represents the first opportunity for the Spacebomb players - which include White himself, drummer Pinson Chanselle, and bassist Cameron Ralston, as well as a full string section, horn section, and choir - to show that they’re capable of handling such lofty ambitions. Over the course of the seven-track, 41-minute record, White and his band make it abundantly clear that they’re more than up to the task. — Blurt-Online.com

Breakbot: By Your Side (Ed Banger Records)
Lovers of nu-disco, funk and soul will connect with what Paris-based Thibaut Berland has created; By Your Side is a collection of well-written, slow-burn love songs. Ballads and more up-tempo piano-laden numbers meld together effortlessly, all benefiting from the Frenchman’s love of bumpy basslines, beautiful melodies and heartfelt vocals. It’s also an album that will have you feeling like you’re back in the 1970s and 80s in many regards, too, for Berland’s love of disco shines through on almost every track, albeit a love tempered by a healthy dose of contemporary electronica. — InTheMix.com
