Grizzly Bear have a history of putting out non-album releases that are much better and more meticulously arranged than they need to be. Culled from an intense recording session in Marfa, Tex., Shields: Expanded collects the best of these previously unheard tracks, which amount to captivating sketches, rather than scraps.

7 / 10

Though not quite as compositionally adventurous as 'Shields', these demos and bonus tracks are equally emotionally resonant.
