Grizzly Bear Starts to Tour
The New York band Grizzly Bear is one of the newest and most respected indie-rock bands on the scene. They make a lot of interesting music, clearly drawing a lot of their influence from rock bands of the 60s and 70s that emphasized intricate and complicated arrangements. Variety describes them as the most successful at using 60s hi-fi in a modern low-fi setting. And that seems to be about right. It’s an interesting show, with the musicians not putting a lot of emphasis on intensity. Their melodies seem a bit weird at first and sometimes they start to sound alike. But in their show, they will lull you into thinking that every song is the same and then they throw in something subtle but different. This creates a kind of excitement. These guys are going to be the talk of indie-rock for the upcoming future and it’s going to be a lot of fun to see them rising up the ranks!
