Edward Droste is one of the original members of the Brooklyn based indie-rock quartet Grizzly Bear. The group began as a solo effort on Droste’s part in 2004. Droste accredits the band’s name to a nickname he had for one of his past boyfriends. By 2005 Droste had expanded Grizzly Bear to a four-member group making experimental psychedelic folk-pop music comparable to that of Animal Collective and Fleet Foxes. In 2008 Grizzly Bear opened for Radioheadand soon after released their most critically acclaimed album to date Veckatimest, named after a small, uninhabited island in Cape Cod. Their fan base consists of Jay-Z and Beyonce, who were recently spotted at one of their 2009 shows. Veckatimist ranked on numerous lists as one of the best albums of 2009 (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time Magazine) and climbed the charts to sit between Lady Gaga’s The Fame and Taylor Swift’s Fearless. With all of this success, what does someone like Droste enjoy doing in his spare time? Spending time at home with his interior designer boyfriend Chad McPhail and their dog, Beast.
