Dang.. Just discovered this band, and they've already dissipated. I sure hope they reform. They're special. They've got that quality that few artists have, whereby their songs, the way they're written, the way they sound, their voices,... It goes straight to your subconscious and it's meaningful to you immediately.

[@shape9381]

That outro is pure melancholy.. its perfectly Rossen

[@BilisNegra]

Must honor keyboardist. He's doing wonders here for a non official member of the band.

[@stacyOyo]

+BilisNegra Yeah! I agree, he is in the shadow.. But he is doing a lot of wonder in this song :)

[@charmicarmicat2981]

God I love this band so much. I had a dream once where Grizzly Bear and the Fleet Foxes played this huge show together as some sort of big supergroup. I hope that happens in my life time, but probably not

[@rdooley14]

@fleetfoxes 2024?

[@lotusglobe2671]

Eh I don't know about Fleet Foxes. Grizzly Bear and Tortoise sound like a more compatible matchup since they seriously both have that post-rock, fusion jazz flavor to their music. Only difference is that one is more vocal based and the other more instrumental. Now THAT would be a hell of a supergroup. :)

[@Thelaofkazi]

I'm just going to take a moment here to shout out to that extra touring musician they have on keys. He's doing a badass job.

[@Wangholes]

the real simon and garfunkel of our time. true beauty

[@shinanigan09]

I wish that piano part jumped out on the record like it does live. Very cool.

[@idealistworld20]

DANIEL'S ending is everything

[@bazookahorse]

Ed really shreds in this song. XD

[@Amnesiac1]

Daniel Rossen TE AMO

[@ryanchon8702]

those vocal harmonies at the end are everything

[@jonpolm7916]

Few things better than getting drunk and swaying to Grizzly Bear in my chair. This band is absolutely unrivaled.

[@campbellmalcolm4875]

Rossen is a wonder. A fucking genius.

[@axwell21]

What a performance. Someone get those boys a pitcher of lemonade!

[@ronikan]

Just saw them at Coachella! Get close and don't take your eyes away for even a second. They're worth everything.

[@s695579]

I honestly forgot how much I like this band

[@Auguste10]

s695579 I said the same thing just now man.

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

Its easy to forget cause not all their songs are as good as this

[@spcfl1461]

Tyler Durden Agreed. But I’m falling back in love with band again

[@Martel4]

I love Daniel Rossen to pieces. I hope he does some more solo stuff.

[@reggaefan2700]

Daniel Ramirez He's like a modern version of Stephen Stills. That guy is very talented.

[@reggaefan2700]

Daniel Ramirez Not one dislike. That's rare.

[@gidgidi]

Check out department of eagles

[@moonwhisperxiv]

He did more solo stuff!

[@WarWorksProductions]

Lucky you

[@SaltySicilian]

Aaron Arntz, the man on keys!

[@graemewelsh3035]

wow. fantastic performance, no idea they could pull that stuff off live

[@riders.oregon4474]

Why am I just now hearing about this band?

[@lukeluke295]

I don't seem to get tired of this song and I'm prone to that

[@seanadams7407]

That fill at 2:42 made my day

[@alecdoniger9317]

for me, it's the one at 1:46

[@quinnquestions39]

Both great picks... mine is 1:55 😩

[@n.o2164]

This is actually better than the album version

[@instantgrill1]

They really need to do another set at The Green Space. Great acoustics plus a great live band equals awesomeness everytime.

[@artursodins2750]

grizzly bear is great!!! as always;)

[@fattmusiek5452]

Soooooooooooo fuggin good at 1:33

[@matthewsheffield3718]

I'm seeing these guys at Bonnaroo. I could not be more excited.

[@supasteveskates]

the synth at 1:40 through that delay...............YOS

[@Mark_Bayer]

Robin Pecknold clearly took a ton of inspiration from Rossen, especially on crack up. Love them both as songwriters.

[@cassandrafaulkner4115]

On my list for my funeral....

[@irotinmyskin]

it drives me crazy to see how talented these guys truly are

[@jeffsalinas2476]

Grizzly Bear, a band’s favorite band…

[@RossBayCult]

This reminds me so much of Peter Gabriel era Genesis

[@kefeider]

Too good!

[@rutledgemcmillin5064]

Goooood law these guys! So good. Trip me out.

[@saradengler]

great music, great lyrics!

[@idahoandude3284]

Daniel rossen has a wonderful voice

[@killurbob3295]

Guess the bands over. Eds gonna be a therapist now. Fuckin great never saw them live!

[@yeahyeahyaha2]

Grizzly bear is a fantastic band. Do you know what would make them even more fantastic? Ed learning to play the fucking guitar

[@TM-vx9xs]

yeahyeahyaha2 he did record the guitars on horn of plenty and plays guitar on certain songs live too... Perhaps this one didn't need the acoustic bits?

[@Op4Blushift]

Yeah, Ed has even said in interviews that hes easily the least musically capable (or something like that) out of the guys in the band. Seriously though, a second guitar could work some wonders if he could play something besides the power-chords in Knife.

[@stevebuschemi2205]

tight as fuck, great great soundddd

[@dloft117]

would somebody hook me up with all the info on Daniel's equipment here? i wanna know how he is getting his tone.

[@GregNarten]

The bassist kind of looks like Todd from Breaking Bad

[@julkitan3017]

time signature at the intro? anyone? I think I got it, 3/8+3/4+3/8 !! crazy groove... they are masters, best songwriters around.

[@Norvind-YT]

Julki Tan it's 4/4

[@IFeelWeak]

lol it's not 4/4, sounds like 12/8

[@jcbdwsn]

ya it's just 12/8

[@henriquealecrim2497]

nothing's cutest than 2:02

[@Mark_Bayer]

Daniel Rossen is the only thing I like about Grizzly Bear. Criminally underrated.

[@bengreenwood1734]

can anybody recommend any bands like these guys? Preferably similar to this song in particular. Absolutely love their sound.

[@danbrooks5060]

+Ben Greenwood Local Natives are similar, but more controlled and less trippy.

[@lcarthel]

+dan brooks Yeah, I agree with that.. there are many similarities, although I don't think they're not quite as "musical" or dynamic. A good band indeed.

[@theethos5181]

Lost Media technically Department of Eagles are still Grizzly Bear.

[@shape9381]

@@LostMachinima Sigur Ros belongs right in that group

[@selvanegrra]

Does anyone knows what cymbals are those?

Top sexy tune.

[@ronkb]

Ed looks so uncomfortable with a guitar in his hands

[@vver]

Does anyone know wich bass guitar chris is playing?

[@AK-cm8qe]

If I had to guess, i'd say it's probably a Teisco or maybe a Harmony?

[@lcarthel]

+vinicius verissimo Rickenbacker

[@squiresuzuki]

It's a Contessa HG 61. Obscure Italian brand from the 60s. Found the answer on talkbass.

[@chrisbailey1379]

or like banjo or something. when he's not doing lead vocals he has nothing to do really
