Grizzly Bear was originally conceived as the solo project of Edward Droste, who recorded his debut album Horn of Plenty at home. The record was originally meant for his friends, but it eventually circulated and got a proper release in 2004, this time with the help of Christopher Bear. A re-release with a bonus disc of remixes was issued in 2005.

In 2005 singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rossen and multi-instrumentalist/producer Chris Taylor joined the band. As a four piece band, the complexity of Horn of Plenty could move to the stage. The band toured throughout the year, playing songs off the first album as well as some of the new songs they were collectively writing that would make up Yellow House.

An album of Droste’s early demo recordings, Sorry for the Delay, was released in 2006. Later that year they signed to Warp to release Yellow House on September 4th.

Daniel Rossen is also in the band Department of Eagles.

On a Neck, On a Spit and Plans are some of the greatest songs I've heard in a long time. Yellow House gets even better with every listen.

I've been seriously trying to find a band I like more than Grizzly Bear for a long long time. So, does anyone in the same boat as me have any suggestions?

I wish the songs from Yellow House, or the Friend EP could be added to our personal playlist.
