Grizzly Bear

In October 2012, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album 'Shields,' which they released just a month earlier. This live recording of 'Knife' captures the band during a vibrant moment in their career, showcasing their intricate harmonies and lush instrumentation. 'Shields' marked a significant evolution in their sound, steering closer to a more polished, spacious aesthetic than their earlier work, without losing the whimsy that first drew fans in. The Keller Auditorium show displayed their unique ability to merge complex musicality with emotional resonance, drawing the crowd into a transcendent experience. It’s fascinating to note how their live performances, such as this one, breathed new life into the studio tracks, making you wonder: what do these songs mean to them now, years later?
