Grizzly Bear

In November 2008, Grizzly Bear was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, 'Yellow House,' which had been released back in 2006. This album solidified their presence in the indie rock scene, thanks to rich harmonies and intricate arrangements that resonated deeply with fans. By the time this live recording in Vancouver happened, the band was just about to release 'Veckatimest' in 2009, which would take their sound even further into darker and more complex territories. It’s fascinating to note that 'Colorado,' performed during this show, is a testament to their evolving style, showcasing a blend of folk, rock, and art-pop influences. The palpable energy of the audience at the Commodore Ballroom reflects how much anticipation there was for what would be a breakthrough album for the band. Really, it was a thrilling time filled with artistic momentum!
