Grizzly Bear began as a moniker for singer-songwriter Ed Droste's music in the early 2000s. Regarding the band's origins as a solo project, Droste notes: "It was just like doing a little home project, and I thought "oh, this is fun, I'm just going to call this stuff Grizzly Bear. [...] Our name was actually just a nickname for an old boyfriend of mine."
