Grizzly Bear Taping- ACL Live Austin, TX
Ed and Chris Bear spin some of their favorite jams & chat with about touring and awkward sexual song confrontations with parents with Zan Rowe on Triple J Mornings.
Zan: Did anything like that ever happen when you were a little kid, Chris, when you were confronted with sexuality and rock & roll music infront of your parents?
Chris: I don’t know… not as overtly as this… I was more of like a Huey Lewis and the News kind of bro.
Ed: Hey, he’s a sexy guy.
Do you think it would potentially be in your interests to do a hip hop collaboration? I think it could be really fun. It would have to depend on what the song was and who the artist was and whether it worked, I wouldn’t want to do it just for the sake of doing it just because it’s newsworthy. I’d only want to do it if it musically made sense and was cool. I’m a huge fan of hip hop and R&B so there are many artists, including Jay-Z, who I think it would be fun to do something with, but I wouldn’t want it to be some sort of corny collaboration for the sake of doing a collaboration, just to get people being like “ooh, that’s weird”.

These songs are from 2003-2006 – what prompted their release now? We had a contractual obligation to this label, and in order to release In Ear Park with 4AD we had to broker a deal. We would probably have faced a lawsuit if we didn’t let them put it out, but it’s not an unhappy story, if people enjoy it in some form. What’s next – new Department of Eagles material or a new Grizzly Bear album? […]I’ve been working by myself a lot, which could be a solo record, Grizzly Bear tracks or a new Department of Eagles record. Right now, Grizzly Bear is in post-record limbo, but I’m itching to play new songs live.

3 notes The band may also sing an older song, one ”we haven’t played for years”. For that, they’ll have to look to 2004’s debut LP, Horn of Plenty, 2006’s Yellow House or a couple of bridging EPs.
Interview with Chris Taylor (featuring a Daniel Rossen cameo) found on twitter: “my wasted interview with grizzly bear, bad editing. enjoy!”
“I was brought up in a really musical household. There was a piano, my grandfather was a professor of music at Harvard, and my mother was a music teacher for little kids. She played the flute, my grandfather played the piano, and my aunt was a cellist… So there were tones of music around me. And I was the bastard with my guitar!”
