Fans of Ester Drang's moody Midwesternism or Unwed Sailor's sonic sculpture should savor this collective, which overlaps with those outfits. Bear joins jaded, faded vocals with fumbly guitars, but finds a coup in wedding it all to lush laptop beats.
A little under a year ago an idea was hatched in a empty bedroom with a computer and some electronic beats. At the forefront of this musical journey was the idea of friendship and a desire to be around people who are comforting. The goal was simple: to form a collective of friends who were excited about working on a project together that might never see the light of day...it would be our secret joy to do when we were feeling creative. Right now with eleven people stretching across two continents it has become an exciting journey that has not only left the bedroom but graced the ears of many people of whom we never in our wildest dreams expected it to. What we have to offer is simple, music that hopefully will move you in the way it has moved us. We will always be honest in our attempts because we have nothing to lose. This is the Bear Colony. We have sewn our roots in other musical projects like: Lovedrug, Eso Charis, Snailhuntr, Unwed Sailor, Decahedron, Ester Drang, American Tourist, and Chase Pagan.
