TITLE:
You Belong There

CATNO:
WARPLP344C
STYLE:
Folk /
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
Limited Gold Vinyl issue
Daniel Rossen, the lead vocalist and instrumentalist of era-epitomizing act Grizzly Bear, releases his first-ever solo LP, You Belong There, via Warp Records.
The landscape surrounding You Belong There is Daniel Rossen’s sophisticated and visceral consideration of what comes after the restless enthusiasm and public fanfare of your youth. It's a riveting 10-song reintroduction to a voice that sounds both entirely familiar and fully re-energized by the act of unfettered expression and newfound self-sovereignty. These songs explore the personally uncharted territory of adulthood, including the troubles left behind and the possibilities that wait ahead.
For nearly two decades, Rossen had been a crucial component of Grizzly Bear, whose shared harmonies and interlaced textures reimagined music of the early aughts. He is also a founding member of the acclaimed folk and electronica outfit Department of Eagles. Rossen left the close-knit nest of Brooklyn many years ago, first for an isolated patch of land in upstate New York and then for Santa Fe, where he slowly built the world that is You Belong There largely in his high desert home. Rossen bought himself an upright bass (one of his instruments as a kid), along with the cello and performed almost all of the parts on the album himself, with Chris Bear of Grizzly Bear contributing as a rare guest on “Tangle.” Best known as a guitarist, Rossen took up woodwinds, too, buying several cheap student models and learning just enough to understand the rudiments.

Daniel Rossen performs with Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles, and as a solo artist. Daniel was born in Los Angeles, California and began making music in earnest in 2000, when he became a roommate of Fred Nicolaus at New York University during their freshman year. The duo began writing and recording as Whitey on the Moon UK, changing their name to Department of Eagles a few years and EPs later. Daniel joined Grizzly Bear in 2005, shortly after the Horn of Plenty was released. Meanwhile, in 2005, a collection of Department of Eagles' early works, The Cold Nose, was issued by the U.K. label Melodic (it arrived in the U.S. with bonus tracks two years later).
In 2006, Grizzly Bear released their breakthrough album, Yellow House. During that time, Rossen and Nicolaus continued to work on tracks, gathering enough material for an album by late 2007. Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and Christopher Bear, as well as bassist Nat Baldwin, joined the duo for the sessions, which were completed in the spring of 2008; the resulting album, In Ear Park, was inspired by Rossen's late father and released by 4AD that fall.
Grizzly Bear's ambitious third album, Veckatimest, was released in 2009. In 2010, the Department of Eagles collection, Archive 2003-2006--which included tracks from their aborted sophomore album and pieces that were later used by Grizzly Bear--arrived.
After touring with Grizzly Bear subsided, Rossen quietly began work on a set of songs intended for a new album which he ended up recording largely by himself. The result was the Silent Hour/Golden Mile EP, which Warp Records released in 2012 a few months before the release of Grizzly Bear's fourth LP, Shields.
Following Shields, Grizzly Bear took a multi-year hiatus during which Rossen retreated further from the public eye, relocating from New York to New Mexico. The band eventually returned in 2017 to release their 5th LP, Painted Ruins.
In 2022, Rossen released his long-awaited full-length debut, You Belong There. Released by Warp Records, the album showcased Rossen’s signature guitar work, classical influences, and evocative lyricism, created largely in isolation in the American Southwest.
