Grizzly Bear drummer Christopher Bear has announced his first solo record, as BrooklynVegan notes. Bear, who records under the name Fools, will release Fools’ Harp Vol. 1 on May 18 via Music From Memory. Below, hear a new song called “Deefyfe.”

“When I set out to start making this collection of music last summer, the intention was simple and open ended... to make a bunch of instrumental explorations, follow intuitions, and see what might take shape,” Christopher Bear wrote on Instagram. “The world was in a very different place, but some of the meditative and self-reflective qualities I found in making the music feel especially relevant today as I find myself seeking comfort in briefly transporting to another world during these unknown times.”

In recent years, Christopher Bear has composed original music for HBO’s High Maintenance. Grizzly Bear’s latest album, Painted Ruins, arrived in 2017.
