Watch the Strokes’ Hammond Jr. in the Studio With the Postelles

On Tuesday, the Postelles will unleash a four-track EP called White Night, which features production by the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. and a remix by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor. Like the Strokes, the band’s members met in high school on Manhattan’s Upper West Side but soon adopted a downtown musical mentality that captured Hammond’s ear. “They found a cool sound reminiscent of the late Fifties, early Sixties that I really liked, but they had their own take on it,” the guitarist told us when we

Breaking: Grizzly Bear

Who: A Brooklyn chamber-pop quartet who hunkered down in a worn-down church to record their gorgeous third album Veckatimest.

Sounds Like: Led by singer Ed Droste and singer-guitarist Daniel Rossen, who both share co-writing duties, Veckatimest is a lush mix of Beach Boys melodies, complex ar

Coachella Day Two: Double The Fun

For this year’s Coachella, we’ve dispatched our very own indie rock star reporter, Ed Droste of Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear. April 29th 3:43 am: Well tonight was fun. Really fun. Something about the evening at Coachella felt more alive yet at the same time apocolyptic. People were a bit rowdier, wilder…..insane. Glow sticks were alive and kicking. It’s hard to even keep track of it all. I guess where I left off, Kings of Leon were ending their set and the mighty Arcade Fi

Coachella: Bjork-Anticipation Functions Like Morning Cuppa Joe

For this year’s Coachella, we’ve dispatched our very own indie rock star reporter, Ed Droste of Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear. April 27 9:05 a.m.: I’m up way too early. I can’t wait for Bjork tonight!!! First breakfast and a lot of water. Why do I drink Red Bull? If I can find a Kombucha I will down that quickly and feel refreshed. To Rolling Stone readers: Kombucha is amazing. Especially first thing in the morning instead of coffee. No I don’t wear patchouli. 12:56 p.

Coachella Day Two: It Begins Again

For this year’s Coachella, we’ve dispatched our very own indie rock star reporter, Ed Droste of Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear. April 28 11:36 a.m. Just had breakfast again at the Parker and Anthony Kiedis sat at the table next to us with some tall girl in a sun dress. The whole restaurant was pretending not to notice him yet intensely staring. Myself included. Got a call from Luiza Za from CSS, turns out their house is 2 blocks away from ours so I’m going over there to have lunch

Coachella: Touchdown, Tacos, Weird Parties and GPS

For this year’s Coachella, we’ve dispatched our very own indie rock star reporter, Ed Droste of Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear. Below is his first of many reports. April 26th 4:46 p.m.: I’m stuck in the most hellish traffic ever. I’ve been informed we are passing through San Bernardino (supposedly the “Newark” of Southern California). I’m feeling satiated from our Baja Fresh stop, yet exhausted from the flight and now being stuck in endless, stand-still grid

Coachella: New York to Cali…The Hipster Exodus Begins

For this year’s Coachella, we’ve dispatched our very own indie rock star reporter, Ed Droste of Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear. Below is his first of many reports. THE AIRPORT 8:34 a.m.: I’m definitely feeling the effects of a few too many drinks from last night’s DNTEL record release party at Union Pool. I’m starving but will likely only get a bag of blue taro chips on our jet blue flight. Maybe I’ll watch HGTV and pass out in row 18A. I need to be ready for my s
