"Yet Again" was the second single from Shields, Grizzly Bear's fourth album, and Warp put it out on August 2, 2012, as the follow-up to "Sleeping Ute". Ed Droste sings lead, and it's one of just two songs on the album cut in Marfa, Texas, during the band's first sessions for the record; the writing credit goes to the whole band.
The sleeve borrows Richard Diebenkorn's Untitled #17, a 1981 work on paper in gouache, crayon and graphite. Emily Kai Bock's video, out September 27, 2012, follows a skater practicing alone in an empty rink who crashes through the ice into a lake, then finds her way home through a carnival and a forest before coming unglued at the end. Bock meant her as a figure for adolescence, and for never quite learning the part you're expected to play.
