New Grizzly Bear (Feat. Dirty Projectors & Beirut) - “Alligator (Choir Version)”

With assistance from Dirty Projectors and Beirut, Grizzly Bear have remade “Alligator” from their 2004 debut Horn of Plenty. The band has transformed the original minute-and-a-half sketch of a song into a fully realized and beautiful tune that clocks in at five minutes. The track will be included on Friend (out on November 11), a new 10-track collection of new material, covers, collaborations, and “reworked & re-recorded” material. To better appreciate the scope of the new “Alligator”, I’ll post both versions for your comparative enjoyment. (via Stereogum).

I saw the Dirty Projectors live once a few years back. It was the best live performance I’ve ever seen in my whole life, and I saw Jewel live once, haha.
This should be great!
