Grizzly Bear to Start Recording New Album in June

Last month, Grizzly Bear announced they would soon start recording their first new album since 2012′s Shields. The band’s Ed Droste has now taken to Instagram to clarify that they will start “to officially record” their new album on June 1. See his announcement, which comes with a “sick selfie,” below.

Following Grizzly Bear’s recording announcement in April, the band played a Bernie Sanders rally in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. At the rally, they performed “While You Wait for the Others,” “Two Weeks,” and “Knife,” during which they changed the words “can’t you feel the knife” to “can’t you feel the Bern.” Previously, Droste went to college campuses for Sanders and explained his endorsement of the Vermont senator.
