Grizzly Bear

In September 2007, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the success of their album "Yellow House," which had been released a year earlier. This album was a pivotal moment for the band, as it marked their expansion into more textured, atmospheric sounds that blended indie rock with folk influences. The live performance of "Knife" at the Hot Freaks! afterparty showcases their engaging, layered harmonies, a signature element of their style that resonated deeply with fans. It's fascinating to note how this song, in particular, encapsulates the band's knack for creating moody, intricate music. At this juncture, Grizzly Bear was gaining traction in the indie scene, setting the stage for their future works. The energy and intimacy of the live setting really capture that magical moment in their career, where artistry and audience connection truly align.
