Greenpoint's Grizzly Bear (comprising mainly Ed Droste and Christopher Bear... his real last name) has been likened to the wonderful folk wackiness and child-like wonder of Animal Collective. Grizzly Bear gathers an eclectic collection of disjointed -- oftentimes creepy -- sounds and couples them with lush, layered vocals.

Fans of both Sufjan Stevens' mellow, melodic voice and The Unicorns' weirdo rock should be into Grizzly Bear. They play the soundtrack to your wackiest dreams. You know, the kind where you wake up and go, "How the hell was that in my head?" Grizzly Bear makes music for those disturbing and invigorating waking moments.

Grizzly Bear play Subterranean, on Friday, February 9th.
