Bear in Heaven is headlining our rock and roll beer festival, The Bay Brewed 2012 , this Saturday afternoon, and it's somehow been the better part of a year since the Brooklyn band last played in the Bay Area. The trio's most recent SF show was actually the week they released I Love You, It's Cool , far too long for a group whose albums continue to reward with every subsequent listen. That feeling of improving with age isn't because either I Love You, [...]
photo by Brittney Bollay Seattle can now claim a hold on summer as we reach post-80 degree weather this week! (Sorry, rest of the country, but we've earned this!) No matter where you are, though, or whether you're sitting out on the beach, picnicking in a park, heading out on a long roadtrip or just chilling at home, you're going to want to soundtrack these hot summer days with some hot new jams. To help beef up your playlists, we've asked KEXP DJs and staff what's in their heavy rotation this summer. Carol [...]
Title: I Love You, It’s Cool Artist: Bear in Heaven Label: Hometapes/Dead Oceans Release: April 3, 2012 Words by Chris This record is a much more streamlined, digestible, decidedly more 80’s version of Bear in Heaven , which is both a little disappointing and pretty damn good, with the band commanding this different sound with comfort-it breezes by on the first few listens, no fancy introductions or closings, just a really energetic, at times joyful, neon-colored jolt. The songs [...]

Brooklyn trio Bear in Heaven take me directly back a few decades to the 80s on this track and basically provide the soundtrack to watching the world wondrously unfold in grade school. It could easily top any playlist of the time and naturally take it a step up, as it seemingly fits into the milieu without sounding like its mimicking any specific signature sound. I Love You, It’s Cool is out on Dead Oceans now, having arrived early in April. Also we've provided the new zoom-laden video below, quite [...]
SOUL'D OUT MUSIC FESTIVAL: MAZE FEATURING FRANKIE BEVERLY, RONNIE LAWS, MARLON McCLAIN ( Keller Auditorium , 222 SW Clay) The Soul'd Out Music Fest starts today and to kick things off is one of your "quiet storm" soul faves from the '70s, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. They're wildly rhythmic and optimistic, and if you are ever down in the dumps, nothing will cheer you up faster than their hit "Back in Stride." WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY Also see our article on the Soul'd Out Music Festival . [...]

Welcome to April... The beginning of Fauxchella, when all of those bands that were paid an obscene amount of money to perform in the desert for rich kids on copious amounts of drugs get to play for normal people, in normal venues, where you get to hear a band with a soundcheck and a real [...]
Do you know Bear In Heaven yet? If not, chances are likely that you will soon.

O Bear In Heaven está na ativa desde 2003 e há quase uma década vem trazendo o bom indie rock para as pistas de dança. Na verdade a parte dançante fica por conta das inspirações da banda que vai da música psicodélica até o eletrônico e o krautrock. Com quatro discos lançados e mais um saindo do forno, os caras apresentam ao mundo o primeiro gostinho de I Love You, It's Cool , previsto para o próximo mês. Nomeada "Reflection Of You" , uma das canções mais espetaculares do trio nova-iorquino: produção densa, [...]
With this year's South by Southwest Music and Media Conference kicking off next week, Sound Affects assembles a list of 10 acts to check out on your visit to Austin, Texas. The challenge: coming up with a list of 10--not 25, not 100 (really NPR, 100?), but 10--must-see music events at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas this year. For the music lover, the annual South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (taking place March 13th to 18th) presents an Olympic task that involves winnowing over 1000 performing artists down to a manageable shortlist, and then shoehorning one's must-see [...]
Did you hear the one about the band with the three month long album stream? In advance of the release of their third album I Love You, It's Cool , Bear In Heaven are streaming a special version of the album on their website at 400,000% slower than normal so the whole thing takes three months to listen to and will finish just in time for the release of the album on April 3rd. If you haven't got hours to spare to listen to one snare hit then take a much [...]

This week's top videos come from Grimes, Bear In Heaven, Chairlift, Gorillaz and Nite Jewel. It was really tough picking just five videos from the brilliant selection unveiled this week, which is always great to see. The fact that we couldn't fit in the latest videos from Bon Iver and Girls says it all really. The queen of the video world this week has to be Grimes . We kicked off the week with an interview with her, and we end it (almost) by praising her latest video. Enjoy! [...]

Tweet vaso link Are you prone to seizures from certain flashing light patterns? If so, you may not want to watch the video for Bear In Heaven's "Reflection of You." It's nausea-inducing, with strobes and non-stop zooming in on the band throughout the whole thing. All that said: it's a hell of a song, if you haven't already heard it. I Love You, It's Cool , the album this track is taken from, will be out on April 3.
Bear in Heaven are still making their way through a 400,000% slowed-down stream of their upcoming record I Love You, It’s Cool , but they’ve dropped full-speed versions of a few of the record’s tracks, including “Reflection of You,” a blurry, sunny nostalgia-trip we love. Now that song has a video, courtesy director John Lee – it’s a relatively simple performance video rendered dizzyingly trippy by some insane digital zoom and a dancing bearded guy in a shimmering tinfoil suit (really). The record drops April 3 – check out the video in the meantime, if you [...]
