Grizzly Bear

In November 2009, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, 'Veckatimest,' which had been released just a few months earlier in May. This live recording from La Cigale in Paris showcases their unique blend of intricate harmonies and lush instrumentation, capturing the essence of a band at a pivotal moment in their career. Interestingly, 'Veckatimest' not only strengthened their fan base but also earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The song 'He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)' reveals their penchant for reinterpreting older tracks, demonstrating their ability to evoke deep emotions while maintaining an experimental edge. Grizzly Bear's performance in Paris reflects their artistic growth, confirming their emergence on the indie rock scene during this vibrant period.
