Grizzly Bear in DC

• filed under Music

Grizzly Bear put on a great show at the fabulously refurbished 6th and I Synagogue last week.   The band play a delicate chamber pop — think Simon and Garfunkel times 2 — and their 2 and 3 and 4 part harmonies don’t always come across as well in traditional clubs where crowds have to be shushed from talking. Here, though, we were all on our best behavior, sitting quietly in pews, and the acoustics were wonderful.

They closed with one of the best songs of the year, “While You Wait for the Others,” (below) which should be on their eagerly awaited new album.
