Shields is the fourth studio album by the Brooklyn-based band Grizzly Bear and is set to be released on September 18, 2012.

Recording

Shields was recorded in New York and Cape Cod, after recording sessions in Marfa, Texas proved unproductive. The songwriting process for Shields was more collaborative than Veckatimest. Pairs of band members did writing retreats with each other, and band members regularly built off of other member's ideas.

Release

A followup to Veckatimest was first announced on May 10, 2011. The release date, as well as a song "Sleeping Ute", the track listing and tour dates were announced on June 5, 2012, while the title and cover art was announced on July 9, 2012. A second song from the album, "Yet Again," was released on August 2, 2012. On September 9, 2012, Shields was streamed in its entirety on NPR.
