Grizzly Bear

In 2012, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album 'Shields,' which had been released just weeks earlier in September. This live recording of 'Gun Shy' captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their signature blend of intricate harmonies and layered instrumentation in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Fox Theater in Oakland. The performance proved to be a standout, especially with Chris Taylor's captivating bass line that ties the intricate melodies together. This era marked a significant evolution for the band, as they shifted slightly toward a more polished, yet still experimental sound, solidifying their reputation as innovators in the indie music scene.
