Reviews:

''Veckatimest'' is the third full-length studio album by American indie rock band Grizzly Bear, released on May 26, 2009 on Warp. The album is named after a small island in Dukes County, Massachusetts. Upon release, ''Veckatimest'' was greeted with widespread critical acclaim, currently holding a score of 85 at aggregate critic review site, MetaCritic. The album is generally viewed by critics as a large step forward for Grizzly Bear in regards to partial genre-blending, musical complexity and experimentation.

''Veckatimest'' debuted at #8 on the US Billboard 200, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release.

Both "While You Wait for the Others" and "Two Weeks" appeared in Pitchfork Media's ''Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s'', ranking at #334 and #162 respectively. The album was ranked #42 on their list of the decade's top 200 albums. Rhapsody called it the 8th best album of 2009. Official music videos have been produced for "Two Weeks", "While You Wait for the Others", and "Ready, Able". Veckatimest was also voted Stereogum's 2nd best album of 2009. - Wikipedia

Will there ever be a North American Radiohead? The Arcade Fire and the National have laid pretty strong claims to the (nonexistent) throne with daring, transcendent albums and live shows, but perhaps this Brooklyn quartet is on the fast track. Sophomore album Yellow House was roundly regarded as album of the year material, and Vekatimist, recorded in the Catskills by the band’s Chris Taylor, should take GB’s psych-folk to new critical and commercial heights.
