When the bear lost his grip. Grizzly Bear - Roundhouse - London 13/03/2010 
Two nights sold out for months for the American Grizzly Bear at the Roundhouse in London. The Roundhouse was built in the area of \u200b\u200bCamden in 1846 as a repair depot where locomotives, and 'definitely a fascinating place, which despite recent renovations, which cost more' than 40 million euro, continues to have a bad acoustics for concerts. The Grizzly Bear
climb on to the scene 21:30 acclaimed by audiences and anxiously opened the concert with "Southern Point" which also opens their latest work "Veckatimest" in 2009 and to follow the most 'popular "Cheerleader." If
disk can assoporare sottiglieze all of this psychedelic folk-jazz quartet of Brooklyn, in a sound that seems pure in spite of the complicated texture, is lost during the live of the different layers, making even the vocal harmonies very mundane and boring . On stage there
'un'atmostera party of the country, different lights dangling from trestles, a simple but not electrifying. And there 'will remark to know that Edward Droste and company have spent months and months locked in a small apartment to record music on tapes. All well-studied theoretically, clean and also try to convey simple emotions from the scene, measured by the ruler seem ripped from school. Their music is taking on people who attended the concert, a 90% of twentysomethings who seem to belong to a middle-class right-thinking of the English bourgeoisie. While I wonder why the Warp, known for its adventurous musical choices, he wanted a band sound so bland in its catalog, Victoria Legrand takes the stage and gives us his beautiful voice in "Two Weeks" and "Slow Life" and I regret a bit 'to have lost in the opening exhibition of his group Beach House. I hope for a turning point at this point of the concert, but once Legrand leaves the stage, it does nothing exciting. I just need to sit on a sofa and fall asleep to music best dreams.
discovered David Michael Stith, DM Stith in art, via a video that a friend of mine instead ', more than a year ago, about facebook. That purity, that spirituality '. The emotion I had at first hearing was very similar to what I felt the first time I heard Jeff Buckley and Antony and the Johnsons. A few weeks' later I saw DM Stith accompanied by a live band in a small wooden theater in East London. A music hall built in 1863 to the community 'in Shoreditch, which has all the appearance of a saloon in a western movie, and that for years and' was used as a hall reunion Quaker. That night and many many looks dreamy eyes shining among those present. Almost a year after DM Stith returned to a room even more 'intimate, the Slaughtered Lamb, with only a guitar and a pedal with echo effects and loops. E 'again to London to present a preview of some new piece. DM Stith has an angelic voice and pure. Michael David could join the church choir directed by his father, who escaped from teaching to pursue his graphic nature and to escape to a spiritually 'tax which is not recognized. And then, during the concert, it seems that DM Stith has made its own journey in search of his underwear and I have found his true spirituality 'that now transcends his music tonight. Satasera alone in front of us, chords and arpeggios of his guitar are more 'complex and do not detract from the songs you hear on his album "Heavy Ghost." Indeed, in this room with leather sofas are instaurauna more 'strong communion, giving the impression of sharing with him a moment of intimacy' unique. Tonight, as well as some new songs with "Impatience" and the precious gems "Heavy Ghost," DM Stith gives us a wonderful cover of "Spirit Ditch" of the recently deceased Mark Linkous (aka Sparklehorse) with whom he shared a I would particularly dangerous sensitivity 'music. The elegiac concert glides fast and souls are won tonight and dumb by its beauty. Quietly leave the room and as we walk the deserted streets of London on a Sunday night, still resounds the echo dell'encore "Just Once Just once, did you love me ounces?".
