Grizzly Bear Releases New Album Title, Cover Art

In early June, Grizzly Bear announced their upcoming fourth album and their first released single, “Sleeping Ute.” Today, the album, set to for release on Sept. 18, officially has a title: Shield.

The band will head out on an international tour just two days before the record comes out on Sept. 16 in Knoxville, Tenn. After major success with the last album, 2009’s Veckatimest, fans are likely excited to see how their latest work will compare. That is the Shield album art on the right.
