In April 2013, Grizzly Bear was riding high on the acclaim from their most recent album, "Shields," which was released in September 2012. This album marked their return after a four-year hiatus and showcased a more polished sound, while still maintaining their signature blend of folk and psychedelic influences. The live performance at Coachella, captured on April 13, 2013, allowed them to present tracks from "Shields," such as "Sleeping Ute" and "Yet Again," alongside fan favorites like "Two Weeks" from their previous album, "Veckatimest." Notably, their appearance at Coachella came at a time when they were solidifying their status as an essential indie rock band, characterized by their lush harmonies and intricate arrangements. The vibrant atmosphere of the festival complemented their sound, making the live recording a significant highlight in their career during this transformative period.
