5.0 out of 5 starsWelcome Home
By Mark Eremite VINE VOICE on May 11, 2007
Format: Audio CD
The lo-fi neo-psychedelia freak-folk of "Yellow House" is not so easily described. Hence the rather amorphous appellates "lo-fi" and "neo-psychedelia" and "freak-folk." Listening to the album (over and over again), a lot of descriptions came to mind...

The Beach Boys, minus the beach ("Knife").

A moon-powered TV on the Radio ("On A Neck, On A Spit").

A tamed-n-trained Animal Collective ("Easier").

Hot Chip on ice ("Little Brother").

If none of that makes any sense to you (and who can blame you?), let it be enough to say that Grizzly Bear's sophomore LP is as warm and silky as sudsy bathwater. The quartet utilizes banjos, laptops, and flutes (among other, more traditional instruments) to create something so atmospheric, so emotional, so good that at times it's just plain heart-wrenching.

Named after one of the band members' mother's home, where the album was recorded, the album is just as inviting as a return to the loamy roots of nostalgia. The apogee of cool soul sonics, "Yellow House" is big enough to live in, but as cozy as a warm embrace.

5.0 out of 5 starsyes get it and see them live
By Jessica on October 1, 2006
Format: Audio CD
a song excerpt may help you get the genre, but to really get IT you should hear the whole album, go for the whole ride, and listen to how the delicately balanced songs progress with geometric precision, then are broken with magnificent grizzly guitar tantrums and textural spasms that manage to be both futuristic and timeless. dont write them off as a freakfolk experiment. grizzly bear is a really great band. you must see them live too.

4.0 out of 5 starsSweet, melancholy gems
By superinkygrrl on February 18, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Absolutely exquisite and haunting, I cannot stop listening to this album! There's really not much more I can add to all the glowing reviews except to say it's completely enchanted me and I want everyone to know that if you are in any way curious about this band, please take a chance and let Grizzly Bear draw you into their world. The comparisons to TVOTR are very accurate. I find their songs meander along in the most pleasant way, taking me to strangely sentimental places. The melodies are intricately layered and complex and the songs take unexpected twists and turns. "Knife", for me, is a gorgeous aching love song. I'm a huge fan of Akron Family, and I can hear many similarities, though Grizzly Bear feels, overall, denser and more thickly layered. A beautiful album that will stay in my car for many, many commutes. I second the motion to put this in your car for a long, gray, rainy drive. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 starsYour fall playlist
By Sebastian Bosch on October 20, 2006
Format: Audio CD
I've been following Grizzly Bear for a year and a half. A friend introduced me to Horn of Plenty, their first album, when it first came out and when the band was still rather obscure and the sound sparse, a product of leadsinger Edward Droste's improvised bedroom set up -- a fact you'll be quick to learn in every other of the seemingly endless features on them right now. Horn of Plenty was a really beautiful, unexpected album but with Yellow House, Grizzly Bear has entered a different realm of finesse and theis record is undoubteldy one of the finest of the year. There are lush arrangements, intricate harmonies, and an incredible suite of songs that move in surprising directions. Yellow House may still take a few listens to fully grow on you (although the Knife is an instant classis), but listen to it twice on the way to work on a gray fall day and you'll never stop.

4.0 out of 5 starsSuccessfully improving the production
By Preston Treichel on November 9, 2006
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Yellow House is a natural and healthy progression from their first album, Horn of Plenty. This majestic, captivating release showcases the band taking a step up in sophistication and complexity. The structure of the tracks are most often sprawling and have a tendency to change direction in mid-song. It is very folk-influenced, but definitely shows patches of pop psychedelia. This will probably hit home for fans of Animal Collective.

5.0 out of 5 starsan outstanding 2006 release!
By fluffy, the human being. on February 18, 2007
Format: Audio CD
anybody out there familiar with the music of robert wyatt? well this digs into a similar vein of spirit. great melodies with lots going on: xylophones, lap steel, glockenspiel, autoharp, keyboards, guitars, banjo, clarinet, flute, saxophone, bass, drums & touches of electonics, all have a say in the matter. tasteful and mostly dreamy, a feast to listen to over and over. it gets richer, in fact, with each listen. great stuff.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect end to a perfect day .
By Joseph Perez on May 1, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Do not listen to this album if your looking for something new, different, harmonic or simply put ~ beautiful. If you are though, my curious friend then may the gods be with you to absorb the melodic blows this album delivers.

Grizzly Bear like a few choice indy(ish) bands have there vocals down almost too perfectly. "Easier" kicks off the album as a bedtime story that leads to worlds unseen. You really get a feel of what the album will be like in this first song ~ harmony, simple drum placement, and sounds you hear only in cartoons way too early in the morning. All these make up whats to come ~ "Knife" shows up just in time to remind you that its the vocals that make Yellow House.

I was really into "Central and Remote" for a while because of the amazing breakdown in the second half of the song. The acoustic really wants the musician inside you to come out and play, its THAT inviting! "Plans" will seem like the band formed into one giant animal because each sound brought by the members mesh just too well ~ the whistling and again the harmony between the memebers is astounding. Really makes you think the direction music is headed after hearing an album like this.

"Reprise and Colorado" couldn't be placed in the albums list any better. Colorado is also the most simplistic sounding song on the album, with repeating lyrics and the constant sound of something swarming around you. Those two finishing songs finally behead the monster that is Grizzly Bear ( in a good way ) Don't worry it will grow back and hopefully later into another beast with similar traits that follows this album.
