Grizzly Bear return with stunning single "Three Rings", tease potential tour dates
Grizzly Bear are back with "Three Rings", the lead single from their upcoming first record in five years.
The track follows a deluge of hallucinogenic teasers from the band, with woozy visuals and sounds mingling in small snippets uploaded to YouTube. "Three Rings" is from the band's upcoming record - which doesn't yet have a title or release date - and as well as the new noises, the band have actually continued sharing those visual teasers - which, as some intrepid fans have noticed, have various cities from around the globe tagged. Are these new tour dates?
Grizzly Bear have been working on the LP since 1 June last year, providing many updates in the time since - in October it was revealed they were "90%" done. The band's most recent album, Shields, was released in 2012.
"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," frontman Ed Droste explained in an interview in 2015. "Only a couple songs have started to take shape and it's gotta be like, a good dozen or so before we get the picture."
