Last week, seminal indie group Grizzly Bear shared their first new song in five years, “Three Rings.”
While the band are ready to release a new album, they won’t be for a little while. Singer Ed Droste shared an update on Instagram last night, clarifying that a new album would not be coming out “immediately.”
“Because of a crazy hectic year in the ‘indie’ world we are not releasing immediately,” he wrote.
He continued:
“It’s an honor to be releasing music amongst so many amazing artists I respect, but that also means venues are busy and the schedule is crowded. If I could I’d release the album tomorrow, but then I wouldn’t be able to perform for too long b/c of festival season and previously booked venues. Trust we are excited and we are gonna keep sharing and this isn’t a giant marketing scheme, it’s just how the calendar played out!”
