“… lyrically sincere and emotionally raw songs.”
“…rich harmonies and warm vibe…”
“…reflective…poignant lyrics”
Islands, the highly anticipated debut LP from critically acclaimed British trio Bear’s Den, will be released October 21 on Communion Records. The new album follows their March 2014 EP Without/Within, which was praised by Rolling Stone as “heartfelt, shimmering and adventurous.” A live video of the band performing “Bad Blood,” a new song off the record, is streaming now at NYLON (http://bit.ly/1q1za8F). “Bad Blood,” along with “Above the Clouds of Pompeii,” is now available for immediate download with iTunes pre-order of Islands(http://bit.ly/1p1L5OB).
Islands was produced by regular collaborator Ian Grimble (Travis, Daughter, Manic Street Preachers) and includes tracks off the band’s 2013 EP Agape (ag-ah’-pay) as well as new, never-before recorded songs. The album was recently teased in the form of the video for the song “Elysium” which premiered at NPR as a “First Watch” (view here: http://n.pr/1vZddX8). The video has since gone viral, receiving nearly 400,000 views.
Furthermore, the band will embark on a North American tour this fall, including appearances during CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. Fan pre-sale will begin Wednesday, August 27 with general on-sale starting Friday, August 29. More details below.
Andrew Davie (vocals, guitar), Joey Haynes (vocals, banjo) and Kevin Jones (vocals, drums) make up Bear’s Den. The London-based trio played music in various incarnations before officially forming the band in 2012. They developed a cult following in their short existence as a result of their writing, harmonies, D.I.Y. approach with custom hand-stamped CDs and extensive worldwide touring. It was only after finding their identity on the road that the band focused their attention on studio recordings.
