Grizzly Bear will start recording their new album in June
When Grizzly Bear came out of hibernation last month to play a Bernie Sanders rally in Brooklyn, they also revealed that they’d finally be following 2012’s Shields. Now co-frontman Ed Droste revealed that they’ll officially start recording it on June 1:

UPDATE: Almost done:
Album 90 percent done. Last update until you hear it
