Grizzly Bear, aka one of Jay-Z's favorite bands, are back. At least, that's the word according to the Brooklyn quartet's Facebook page. It was there that the band reached out to their fans with a message that they will be fully devoted to Grizzly Bear in the coming two years.

Here's a snippet of their note: "We are back and fully devoted to 2012 and 13, hence the beginning of date announcements. We only hope you are all around still then. Your support has been EPIC. Seriously. We can't thank you enough. Even on 'off' years, we feel we have the best fans in the world. Thank you thank you thank you."

The guys have been pretty distracted since the release/promotional campaign for their acclaimed 2009 album, Veckatimest. For example, frontman Ed Droste got married while multi-instrumentalist/singer Chris Taylor started up his CANT side project. But starting next year, it's all-Grizzly Bear-everything.
