The sweet keyboard rhythm played by Daniel Rossen paves the way for his three other Grizzly Bear mates and invited Thomas Bartlett aka Doveman to strut their stuff. Edward Droste's lead vocals are very commanding indeed if not refined (backed up by bassist Chris Taylor's nice harmonizing vocals, who has an uncanny resemblance to Norwegian footballer John Arne Riise).During the chorus, there are two sets of pull off-like three notes which seem as though a space probe is shooting message waves, rays and beams, ultimately stimulating our auditory nerves.
Somewhere in the middle of the song, a short respite occurs for the keyboard to churn and chug out an electric guitar-like riff. Christopher Bear's creative drummings remind me of that from GB's "Little Brother (electric)". "Just like yesterday, I told you I would stay" and other lines especially the chorus are belted out with oh-so-sweet infectious melodies.
GB further stamp their mark as classy music crafters and a formidable live act. They shouldn't be sorry for the slight delay of this treat. It is very rewarding to finally listen to it. And while you and I wait for their other musical servings, bear in mind that the offerings will have solid appeal too if "Two Weeks" is of any indicator. With "Two Weeks", GB will attract more avid listeners just like ungluing David Letterman off of his hot seat to approach them on stage.
