About this album
Yellow House is the second album by Grizzly Bear. It was released by Warp Records on September 5, 2006.
The album received mass critical acclaim from several important publications. It ranked #8 in Pitchfork Media’s best albums of 2006 list, as well as a similarly high placement in the same list of the New York Times. The music webzine Tiny Mix Tapes ranked Yellow House #7 on the Top 25 Albums of 2006.
The first single, Knife, was only released on 7” picture disc vinyl with the exclusive B-side Easier (Alternate Edit) on May 21, 2007. A music video for “Knife” was produced by Encyclopedia Pictura in 2007. A music video for Central and Remote, directed by Jesse Ewles, was also released in 2007.
Reprise,Little Brother, “On a Neck, On a Spit,” and Easier are used as background music on several of Adult Swim’s bumps. “On a Neck, On a Spit” was featured on The CW show Reaper.
Writing and recording process
Many of the demos for the album were what the band refers to as “sketches,” done by mostly singer/guitarists Daniel Rossen and Ed Droste. Marla itself is actually a song written by Droste’s great aunt, a failed musician. As he explained in an interview with Pitchfork Media:
Well, the whole “Marla” story of my great aunt being this failed musician that dies at an early age in the 1940s was, basically, I got this CD a few years ago from the last remaining sibling of hers, who had finally decided to transfer this stuff to disc.
