Grizzly Bear has released a new song “Four Cypresses,” the third selection from their first album in five years 'Painted Ruins' out August 18 on RCA Records.

The band has also confirmed additional dates on their worldwide tour in support of 'Painted Ruins' including pre-release performances at Portland, ME’s State Theatre and BSP in Kingston, NY, and a second night at San Francisco’s Warfield Theater. Full itinerary below.
'Painted Ruins' has earned early praise from Rolling Stone, who called the new music “spellbinding.” The New York Times dubbed lead track “Three Rings” “insistent,” and Pigeons & Planes called it “a sonically ambitious return.” NPR Music called their single “Mourning Sound” “grand and focused, elegantly layered, delicate and dramatic,” and SPIN declared, “Grizzly Bear strike gold.”
'Painted Ruins' follows 2012’s 'Shields', which was a critical and commercial breakthrough. Debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 and named the #1 Album of the Year by Apple iTunes, 'Shields' earned the band Pitchfork Best New Music and four star Rolling Stone reviews; performances on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Austin City Limits and Ellen; and sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
