Overview
One of the big 'pulls' of this year’s Falls Festival is the Brooklyn-based quartet Grizzly Bear. And now we know that shortly after hauling in the New Year, they will be making their debut performance at the Sydney Opera House.
Currently at the peak of their career, enjoying critical acclaim and receiving vigorous nods of approval from the likes of Paul Simon, Radiohead and Fleet Foxes, the indie-rock outfit has built a reputation for creating music that is texturally rich. Whether it be swirling psychedelic tones, sunny melodies or melancholic folk, Grizzly Bear has a knack for crafting "pop music with an ear for the ambient".
Their fourth album, Shields, was released in 2012 and is considered their most compositionally ambitious venture to date. From the boisterous album-opener, 'Sleeping Ute', to the epic finale, 'Sun in Your Eyes', this intricate suite of multilayered songs has an inquisitiveness and emotive resonance that stays with you.
Grizzly fans are likely to jump at the opportunity to catch the indie-rock trailblazers at Sydney's iconic Opera House. The Concert hall acoustics are sure to complement the band's genre-melting tapestry of tunes.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday, 4 October, from the Sydney Opera House website.
