The almighty GRIZZLY BEAR have started recording the follow-up album to 2012’s Shields. In a new interview with The Standard the band’s Ed Droste gave a little update on what to expect from it. ‘We’re feeling more adventurous with the sonic directions, changing it up a little bit — not like, a techno dance album … it’s in the beginning stages,’ he explains.
