The five-song Silent Hour/Golden Mile started life as demos that Rossen considered for inclusion on the new Grizzly Bear album. But by the end of 2011, he decided instead to release them as an EP, believing that the songs hung together well on their own. Unlike CANT, the R&B side-project launched last year by Rossen's Grizzly Bear bandmate Chris Taylor, Silent Hour isn't a dramatic departure from his usual sound. Rather, Silent Hour very much resembles half of an excellent new Grizzly Bear record.
