Horn of Plenty is the debut studio album by American rock band Grizzly Bear, released on November 9, 2004, by Kanine Records.
In 2002, Ed Droste began writing and recording material under the moniker Grizzly Bear, following a painful break-up.
In 2006, Droste noted that he and Bear:[5] wrote the songs together [...] and my recording technique was also very untrained, so I was doing a lot of really crazy things with vocals which is kinda' why they all sound so fucked up and lo-fi.
Everyone was like "So, you must be a really big fan of lo-fi bands A, B, C, etc.," but actually I just didn’t know that much about microphones, and everyone thought it was this real deliberate thing.
I helped Ed tie up some loose ends with Horn of Plenty, but that record was pretty much all him.
