A figure skater features in Grizzly Bear's new clip yet Again
Not the greatest, but one of our favorite tracks off Grizzly Bear's album Shields, "Yet Again" got its visual released. The New York-based band channels a skater in their video, which navigates a dark rink during a difficult practice, before crashing through the ice and winding up in a mysterious lake. Her journey takes her through a carnival and into a forest, where a backwoods quartet gives her a hand.
The surreal film was directed by Emily Kai Bock, who recently helmed Grimes' "Oblivion," and produced in association with the Creators Project. The track itself it's the best example of how the band flex their pop muscles when they've got a few guitars in the background just dying to make a cacophony. The clip's dark visuals now reflect that aesthetic, of something cold and challenging bubbling just below the four-part harmonies. Watch it in here.

The set moved 39,000 copies in its first week, enough to reach No. 7 on the Billboard 200 -- its best frame and chart position yet. The band is currently on tour with Lower Dens.
