Bear In Heaven Discography of CDs

Bear In Heaven discography Months in advance of the release of I Love You, It's Cool, Brooklyn trio Bear in Heaven posted streaming audio of the new album in its entirety on their website. The catch was that they slowed the audio significantly, stretching the songs into a continuous 247 hour file, their upbeat synthy pop songs sounding more like the icy ambient drones of Gas or Tim Hecker when played 400,000-percent slower. The stream came off more tongue-in-cheek when the band released a conjoining video mockumentary absurdly positing that they played the entire three-month track live. In one sense, transforming their album into an experimental wash is nothing more than a jokey publicity stunt, but in another, it might suggest the band is taking a look backwards. I Love You, It's Cool (when played at full speed) is a non-stop showering of hard-edged synths, fuzzy drums, and suave vocals. It's a crisp pop record made less sterile by a barrage of noisy sounds and tight productions, like the angsty kid brother of Phoenix who would rather make art films than go to the club or maybe a noisier, less controlled foil to the lush melancholia of Beach House. This is a logical progression from their 2009 breakthrough album Beast Rest Forth Mouth, but before that album, Bear in Heaven's sound jumped around hyperactively from Eno-following rock to murky sample-based experimentalism. Their 2007 album, Red Bloom of the Boom, included long passages of ambient wash, not terrifically unlike the lurching sounds of ILY, IC slowed dramatically. Those moments of genre-hopping and sonic wandering are completely absent here. The production is huge and without flaws, showcasing the band's big beats and armies of synths in loud colors. "The Reflection of You" is among the catchier songs on the album, bandleader Jon Philpot's smooth vocals high in the mix and crooning ...

Bear In Heaven songs Starting with steady, straightforward drumming and buried bass, Bear in Heaven almost sound like a less complicated Can on their second album, Beast Rest Forth Mouth, something the quiet, dreamy vocals don't immediately counteract. In a way, this makes the sudden interjection of power chords and a distinctly familiar tinge to the singing a bit of a comedown -- if mainstream prog crossed with woozy MBV-and-everything-after guitar is the latest place for ...

Bear In Heaven albums Brooklyn's Bear in Heaven has all the hallmarks of the worst pretentious, overdramatic quasi-prog that cluttered the indie landscape in the late `00s, and none of the missteps. Yes, RED BLOOM OF THE BOOM is a song cycle of great ambition, but where their contemporaries' choices sound overwrought, Bear In Heaven's are natural and musical. Look no further than "Bag of Bags" a virtual symphony of tremolo, noise, harmony, and crescendo that ...
