GRIZZLY BEAR (London Roundhouse, 13/03/10)



No matter how much I try, I can't love Grizzly Bear. I appreciate what they do, I'm a fan of their exquisite harmonies (even if they're drenched in way too much reverb tonight), they've got a few exceptional songs but I ultimately find them a little insubstantial, and this show did little to change that. But Beach House were magnificent, having taken the M83 route by bolstering the drums and cranking up the volume several notches- so much more immersive than the previous occasions I've seen them, I wish they always sounded this good.
