Grizzly Bear Two Weeks, new song live

New Grizzly Bear song "Two Weeks"

[@djmaxpower5589]

I can't believe they never showed a close-up of the drummer. He's the best part of that song...

[@rodrigohernandez2261]

Soo how's your life sir after almost 13 years?

OMG true fact, the percussion IS the best in this song lol my favorite 😍

This was when late 2000s Indie was at the peak of its powers. Been binging GB again lately.

2009 had so much great music. From new bands and bands that have been around a few. For what ever reason 2009 had it.

that drummer being so locked in and also doing backup vocals.. incredible dude

if i recall, he was the drummer in earl greyhound before GB

Finally, the perfect voice, the recipe for nostalgia.

[@BrianJohnstonTrombone]

His voice is similar to McCartney's

[@pendragonU]

@@BrianJohnstonTrombone that's terrible, Lennon himself said his voice and Paul's sucked but Ringo couldnt lead any better and George passed focused on the fast chords. He was known to repeat that he wished they had as lead singer, get a hold of it: Smokey Robinson for their kind of songs to be where they wished and needed to bring their music to the very tops, and that if Smokey agreed they would do just the backing vocals forever. Imagine that, "Smokey Robinson & the Beatles". NO BS, and Lennon would have agreed, same as Paul. Much wiser than adding Yoko to the line up...

[@fraundakelmbrilpondaprost90]

Glad to see lots of folks here recognizing Chris Bear's drumming. I love the contributions of all four members, but he is truly a distinctive propellant force that pulls it all together. A touch of avant-garde nuance and lots of unique, playful rhythm.

[@outofmind9222]

Dudes voice is amazing

[@mechanicalmanb]

This song is so damn good! No guitar, great understated drumming, singers' voices fit the smoothness of the piano right, interesting movement keeps you in. One of the best songs I've heard in a while. Now tied with Blue Ridge Mountains by Fleet Foxes in my book as the two best songs out right now. And these guys did it with a live performance!

[@maiprincesse]

How have you been after those 12 years?

This has been such a special song to me for over 7 years. I think it's safe to say Two Weeks is definitely one of my all time favorite tunes ever. It's perfection and makes my insides feel warm n fuzzy :D

I played this and my son was about 8 months and when it was finished he sighed like he was upset it was finished and I played it again and he smiled, he's 4 now and he asks me to play this most nights before he sleeps.

Very happy that a group as this one take over of the good groups and a music style which we'd had at the end of 70 ', at the beginning of 80 '.

I come back to this every now and then. I caught this on live tv when it first aired. Incredibly inspiring.

[@murielsartre]

What a lovely song.

[@bravepart]

There's a split moment at around the 2:00 mark where they are juuuuust about to start pulling the tempo, and correct themselves, as a band, in that single beat, and it's just fucking insaaaane! As a drummer, we can sometimes find our bodies naturally stop ourselves from rushing the beat, and it's just so damn pro to see the whole band do it! This is a really tricky tempo to sustain for a whole song too!

[@mtrps_]

how did u even catch that, but most probably they just align back to the in ear clicks

[@maxmitch96]

Oh wow I really couldn’t even hear it until after I listened to that section like 4 or 5 times, good catch. Did you feel like the keyboard was somewhat causing that? Not to blame him specifically, just something I noticed.

[@hermitprotege]

My brother had the pleasure to see them live. He said it was ecstatic.

[@gothadelic9396]

I feel bad for the drummer, Letterman didnt even shake his hand

this song is like a completely new genre. they basically created a new type of music with this creative ass song.

[@TheeMoonyMan]

It's called Indie Rock. They do have a unique style, but there a lot of bands who have a similar sound. Arcade Fire for instance.

[@daurpm]

Silkworth You are worse off than him if the only way you can describe Grizzly Bear and Arcade Fire is with the term "indie rock".

[@DidsGaming]

have you ever heard of a band called The Beach Boys?

this song sounds nothing like the beach boys?lol come on....

[@GoldenPoopD]

lol it’s called chamber/baroque pop and it was created by bryan wilson and the beach boys 50 years ago

[@danielalejandrocerecedodig6237]

what happen with Adrien Brody??? nice music! :P

[@timoraymo]

Howard Stern once pointed this out and he was 100% right. Whoever films these bands on late night or award shows needs to be a musician. They never capture specific moments when a musician performs. Example, during a guitar solo, rather than show the guitarist and his fingers, they go to the singer dancing. In this clip, the drummer is playing such a strange and unique beat…yet let’s focus on the fingers playing two notes on the keyboard. Haha
