Bear In Heaven

What do you know? Another great band based in Brooklyn who plays psychedelic indie rock and experimental rock music. There's a catch with Bear In Heaven though. They create a sound that rivals that of extravagant film scores. They combine the genres of psych-rock, experimental rock and what's known as krautrock, which is a type of German experimental rock. Well, this krautrock genre must be the difference maker, because these guys are completely and totally organic. Their song structure is original and their music ranges from tightly knit electronica based tracks to long, sweeping prog-rock tunes. Pitchfork.com said that they seem to have made an album for an epic IMAX film. The band was formed in 2003 by Jon Philpot, who joined forces with Adam Wills, Sadek Bazarra, and Joe Stickney. Their first release was 2007's Red Bloom of the Boom which garnered little press. However, 2009's Beast Rest Fourth Mouth hit big in the US and UK. The album received a Best New Music label from Pitchfork.com and has gained a lot of attention out of the Brooklyn Indie scene. I really enjoy Bear in Heaven and I think they have created a sound that Pitchfork.com calls "music you will want to feel all around you."
