| Interviewer : | Okay well, my last question actually comes from a special surprise guest who asked me to ask you this, so you’ll have to guess who this question came from. |
| Victoria Legrand : | You’re asking it for them? |
| Interviewer : | Exactly, and you have come up with who you think might have asked it. The question is how many pieces of celery can you fit in your hair? |
| Victoria Legrand : | (laughs) Who is that?! It could be like, five people. Um, I can fit…a buffalo wing in my hair…. |
| Interviewer : | Any idea who that might have come from? |
| Victoria Legrand : | Yeah, it could be, um…Ed Droste? |
| Interviewer : | That’s it. |

“Gathering around a piano and singing together…it’s a sort of an antiquated concept I think these days.”
The category freak folk is sometimes used to try and describe Grizzly Bear’s music. But where did this type of sound come from? I’m talking way back. Beyond late night sessions, beyond the band seeking some sort of musical perfection. What are its roots? The answer to this kind of question is often a surprise, and Droste is no exception. Here’s musician Edward Droste on growing up around the piano with his grandparents.

![Read an interview with Daniel Rossen about the new album on The Fly
Should we expect any surprises?It’s hard to say if anything will shock people, there are definitely some stylistic choices that we’ve never really done before. There’s not a lot of electric guitar which is strange, a lot of piano-based songs and a lot of synthesisers, but not in an obnoxious way. The general palette is very different, but it still has the lushness, it still sounds like us. I really don’t even know what it is.
[…]
Bonus Factoids:
Daniel simply whispered “I can’t tell you” when we asked what the album was called.
He strongly believes that his bandmate Chris Taylor needs a vacation, “he’s very bad at taking time off”.
At one point he mentioned a trumpet player who features on the new album. His name sounded like ‘Tatem Green Platter’.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5dhh6pDmF1qzzinko1_1280.jpg)
