The band usually employs electronic and other traditional instruments.

It is among those few non-electronic bands which are signed to Warp Records.

Beginning in the early 2000s as a moniker for Edward "Ed" Droste, Grizzly Bear came together in 2005. In the beginning, it was just Droste, the songwriter of the band, who released "Horn of Plenty" as his first solo effort which was more of a little home project. Released on Kanine Records, "Horn of Plenty" is attributed to be the first studio album of the band. All of the songs of the album were written by Droste. The album was released in 2004 and features some contributions by Christopher Bear who became the future drummer of the band.  Writing about this first album of Grizzly Bear, the Rolling Stone magazine referred to the songs as "beyond hypnotizing."

In the next few years, the band was joined by Chris Taylor with whom the band had four performances as a trio. According to the band members, those few shows literally sucked as something was missing. It wasn?t until the joining of Dan Rossen that the band discovered its distinctive sound which marked the real beginning of Grizzly Bear. As a quartet, the band released its first studio album named "Yellow House" in 2006. The album was released on Warp Records and featured songs written by Rossen. The album remained quite successful and was ranked among the top albums of 2006 by Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.
Grizzly Bear released its first EP "Sorry for the Delay" in 2006. Their second EP "Friend," was released in 2007, featured the alternate versions, outtakes and the covers of their songs done by Band of Horses, Cansei de Ser Sexy and Atlas Sound.  For this EP, the band also collaborated with the members of Beirut and Dirty Projectors. The same year, Grizzly Bear did a session of a Take-Away Show with Vincent Moon and the next year band recorded a cover of "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo.

In 2008, the band?s first achievement came with their second leg of North American tour where they played live with Radiohead. Later the same year, band started recordings for their third studio album "Veckatimest" which was released in 2009. Named after an uninhabited Cape Cod island, Veckatimest was the first major success of Grizzly Bear and landed on #8 on the Billboard 200 chart.
