Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen’s Golden Silence

While Grizzly Bear is readying to release a new album sometime this year, following up their masterpiece, Veckatimest, a number of band members have been working on solo projects on the side. I personally couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous synth tracks laid down by Chris Taylor under the moniker CANT. Now his band-mate Daniel Rossen has released two tracks from his forthcoming solo EP, Silent Hour / Golden Mile, slated for release March 20th. The singer/songwriter pairs his emotive vocals with orchestral harmonies on “Saint Nothing,” while the temperament to”Silent Song” is a bit more spirited. Swapping piano strokes for twangy guitar licks and a chorus of souring vocals, Rossen delivers and shows his diversity, on both of these stunning tracks.
