Long-Awaited Fifth Album On 180g Double LP!
One of Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2017!

Grizzly Bear's follow-up to 2012's Shields was produced by the band's Chris Taylor, who also provides lead vocal on the track "Systole". Includes the singles "Three Rings" and "Mourning Sound".

In April 2015, Grizzly Bear lead singer Ed Droste told Rolling Stone that the band was "feeling more adventurous with the sonic directions" of their new material. "[We're] changing it up a little bit not like, a techno dance album," he said. "It's in the beginning stages. 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."

"Since coalescing around the current lineup after 2004's apartment-recorded Horn of Plenty, Grizzly Bear have developed a distinctive style that blends baroque-pops intricacy, the Beach Boys' vocal harmonies, and psych-folk's finger-picking unease into something thrilling enough to famously get Beyoncé and Jay Z out for a show. . . 'Three Rings,' the first track released from the new record, retains their characteristic ornateness, but the six-minute song is also slow-building and somewhat elusive; proper single 'Mourning Sound,' on the other hand, is gleaming and hard-charging, perhaps surprisingly so. Painted Ruins has plenty of both styles, from slinky electro-folk that name-checks a Honda TRX 250 four-wheeler, of all things, on opener 'Wasted Acres,' to the horn-enshadowed resignation of closing opus 'Sky Took Hold.'" - Marc Hogan, Pitchfork

"A decade or so ago, Grizzly Bear helped define the new wave of psychedelic-leaning folk-rock on 2006's Yellow House and 2009's Veckatimest. Enough time has passed for that sound to begin creeping back into fashion which makes it all the more impressive that Grizzly Bear swung hard in another direction entirely on their first album since 2012. Painted Ruins is an audacious pivot to synth-pop, using the band's most direct hooks ever ("Mourning Sound," "Losing All Sense") to address break-ups and the end of the world. It's also spiced with plenty of jazzy weirdness, particularly on the delightfully Steely waltz "Glass Hillside." Fully charged and ready to break new ground, this is the kind of post-hiatus comeback most band's fans only dream of." - Rolling Stone, 50 Best Albums of 2017
