Bio

Ed Droste started Grizzly Bear music as a pet project meant only for friends, but it has taken on a life of its own, circulating widely. During a long fifteen-month hibernation in his cozy Greenpoint apartment, Droste laid the groundwork for Grizzly Bear's first album, Horn of Plenty. Upon completion of this "demo," Droste enlisted the help of a real bear, Christopher Bear, who breathed new life and sounds to the work. With their debut album out now on Kanine Records, Grizzly Bear has been spreading their gospel as a live act with the addition of Chris Taylor, playing reeds and electronics, and Dan Rossen, adding more vocals and guitar, to the group.
