Painted Ruins is the fifth studio album by American rock band Grizzly Bear, released on August 18, 2017, by RCA Records.

[6] Band member Chris Taylor produced Painted Ruins, with recording sessions occurring primarily at Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York, but also at various locations around Los Angeles, including Taylor's own Terrible Studios.

[1] Prior to the release of the first single from the album, the band uploaded a series of mysterious teaser videos to their YouTube account.

[11][12][13][14] The song was officially released at midnight in each successive time zone across the globe,[15][16] and was later uploaded to their YouTube channel.

[27] Laura Snapes in The Observer described the album as "Unbeholden to the band’s existence, Painted Ruins has a cavalier quality that you’d struggle to spot in its tense forebears".
