Hear Grizzly Bear cover Diane Cluck’s ‘Easy To Be Around’

Grizzly Bear recently popped into Spotify studios to record a couple of tracks for their singles series.

For the single, they tackled two tracks. The first was a version of their single ‘Mourning Sound’ from recent album ‘Painted Ruins’, while the second was a languid, warming cover of folk singer-songwriter Diane Cluck’s 2003 track ‘Easy To Be Around’.

On Twitter, the band replied to Cluck saying that “we’ve all been fans since before we were ever a band”. Aww. And is the track easy to be around too? You bet your bottom dollar it is.

Grizzly Bear also recently appeared on Jools Holland, and they released a video for ‘Losing All Sense’ starring Dawson’s Creek’s Busy Philipps and Aunt Freckle. A little before the release of ‘Painted Ruins’, we caught up with Grizzly Bear to talk to them about the story behind the new album. Catch up with the chat here.

Listen to both tunes below.
