@nucleararab i'm a drummer and i certainly agree with you. grizzly bear's music is more susceptible to space. what i mean by that is that their songs are open. yellow house is full of that. it requires a drummer who is unselfish in his playing and who plays to complement the music. patience is also key with a lot of grizzly bear's music really taking time to develop. chris bear: great drummer. amazing musician.
chris bear is a genius, he's probably better than 90% of all drummers out there, not just indie music. people trying to compare him to other indie drummers probably don't even play drums themselves
@elcakester agree completely in regards to your comments about chris bear as a drummer. his play flows completely which -and this may sound arsey- compliments the vocals amazingly well. have you given the guy from mew a listen? if you want unpredictability, he's your man.
I think you should listen to some more of Grizzly Bear's music. It's really beautiful and extremely moving. It reaches into your soul and manipulates your emotions. Many of their songs seem simple but the atmosphere they have is really amazing. Dive into their music a bit before you shrug them off as boring ass hippies.
@elcakester Of course, certain genres of music call for different drumming styles. This definitely doesn't call for quickness. I would say though that Chris Bear has far more drum tricks and techniques than most indie drummers out there.
@elcakester HIgh Violet is good, but in my opinion the two albums prior to it are far better. I suppose High Violet is the breakthrough just because it is easier to get into. Boxer is quite solemn, for want of a better word, and Alligator is slightly more different, which people dont seem to like. However you being a Grizzly Bear fan, i dont think it will bother you.
Haha calm down man. I guess that came out wrong They have a very unique sound with all their voices together and I love how it sounds. I wasn't trying to say they were horrible singers, I was saying how even though they're not choral virtuosos they still make it sound extremely professional. Plus I read slitheringinterstate's comment wrong. I thought he said not all of them sing wonderfully. I was trying to be an arbiter between you too lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding
While I don't necessarily disagree with you, lets just not forget that we are all missing the actual live aspect of this performance, and that, my fellow Grizzly Bear fan, far surpasses anything we hear on record. An audience can feed off the energy/emotions of a band, something we will never get from a cd...its the way music was supposed to be heard!
Colorado is my favorite song from yellow house. As much as I love grizzly bear, I have to disagree with pretty much everyone here and say that this live version kinda sucks - similar to how the letterman (i think it was letterman) ready, able performance sucked. They take all of the INCREDIBLE rich layering and studio intricacies that make the songs incredible to me out in the live versions. What makes Colorado so incredible to me is the densely layered vocal harmonies and epic guitar work...
Oh, please excuse me Twopoint0, I wouldn't want to insult someone who degrades both the African American and homosexual community. I assumed he was male, NOT FEMALE, by the way he was talking (ignorantly and insensitively) so PLEASE tell me how that's misogynistic
It doesn't matter how they play it. I get chills every time I hear this song.
I wonder if they're aware of how good of a song this is.
I've seen pretty much all their live stuff on UA-cam, and this one's probably my favourite. How can a band be this amazing?
this song is beautiful. it takes me somewhere else..........
can't get enough of this song
Love, love, love this song!!
Chris Bear you're amazing..

I get to see them perform this live tonight. Crazy excited.
How was it ?
Constant shivers throughout.. one of my fave GB songs.
Best Grizzly Song... LOVE THIS SON SO MUCH!
@elcakester I didn't get why I liked grizzly so much until I started listening to the beats in this song... then I got it. amazing stuff.
Such a captivating voice...
Such a beautiful song...
1st of all...wow bbc collective loves four tet. and 2ndly...prolly the most phenomenal one sentence turned into a song ever.
amazing version
chris bear is a genius, he's probably better than 90% of all drummers out there, not just indie music. people trying to compare him to other indie drummers probably don't even play drums themselves
This is still their best song. I wish this video caught the climax though!
so good
living in colorado makes this song awesome :) hahaha
my fave grizzly bear song besides 'while u wait...'
i agree completely. this is art at the artist's will and disposal, not forced because the average slipknot fan wants a formula one single stroke roll.
I don't think that could be said any better my friend....
"What now? What now???" Most human lyrics I've heard in a while
Awful precise of you haha. They aren't all amazing singers, but that just proves how good of musicians they are. They make it work
does anybody know what guitar effect he uses in the studio version at the end
Colorado

@larrryd what? chris bear is infinitely better than the national's drummer. no comparison
