Nearly two-and-a-half years since the seminal Yellow House, Grizzly Bear's next LP has been at long last given a name and a face.

Veckatimest, a small island on the Massachusetts coast, is sure to be the recipient of a good deal more google hits as its namesake is now shared with Grizzly Bear's second LP on Warp. After a dizzying journey since 2006 including playing with Radiohead, Paul Simon and the LA Philharmonic, the boys are gearing up for a busy 2009 with appearances at SXSW and Bonnaroo, not to mention an acoustic set at a New Yorker sponsored Speakeasy party.

May 25/26th 2009, ladies and gents. Mark your calendars.
