Grizzly Bear

In January 2009, Grizzly Bear was experiencing a pivotal moment in their career, shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Veckatimest." Released in May 2009, "Veckatimest" would later solidify their place in the indie music scene, showcasing their intricate harmonies and lush instrumentations that characterized their sound. The live performance of "Foreground," recorded in a stained-glass chapel, reflects the band’s artistic growth and their ability to create an immersive atmosphere. The choice of location adds a haunting yet beautiful backdrop, complementing their psychedelic folk style. Additionally, the live recording underscores the band’s transition into a more polished and mature sound, which would continue to evolve in future works. The performance in such a unique venue highlights Grizzly Bear's artistic vision and connection to their music, making it a memorable point in their discography.
