[Count Me Out] Album Review: Heartless Bastards - The Mountain

New Grizzly Bear Album Update + Rumors

First off, Ed Droste recently made a Twitter post saying that the new album is done. Also, over the last few days he has revealed that the title of the new album will begin with the letter V, that there are 12 songs, four of which we already know, however, the apparent track "2 Hud" is now called, "Cheerleader" and that a fifth track is called, "About Face." Ed seems to frequently thank someone for coming over from England to help mix the album. Wonder who it may be. Some rumors have also been flying around today that the new album will be called, Veckatimest, which according to Wikipedia is a very small island off the shore of Massachusetts. There has also been mention that these are all of the track names, in no particular order.


Tracks

- "About Face"
- "All We Ask"
- "Cheerleader"
- "Ready, Able"
- "Southern Point"
- "That's Not True"
- "Two Weeks"
- "While You Wait For The Others"
- "Fine For Now"
- "Dory"
- "I Live With You"
- "Foreground"


Hmmm, whatever the verdict may be, I'm still greatly looking forward to this release.
