Last night at the Orpheum a slightly different taste of Grizzly Bear than the ACL performance:
I think the indoor performance added some nuance that really wasn't there in Austin last weekend. The harmonies were just as amazing, but the lights enhanced the eeriness of their sound. In addition to the bass, the bassist rocked out a flute, clarinet, baritone saxophone and about 200 pedals.
Reading over that last paragraph, and knowing we both love the band, I'm realizing that this kind of commentary is really more delicately handled in the hands of chimchim (who thanks to the perils of doctoral programs (ie reading and writing), has been unable to write about music in a while). There is so much amazing music floating around right now (Jack White has a 3rd band I just discovered, The Dead Weather), I officially challenge him to write more.
Back of hand to chimchim's face.

The video quality is great. Looks like a ridiculous show.
