Minus The Bear
Menos El Oso
The highly stylized Seattle indie-pop group Minus The Bear flaunts substantial glitch-riddled prog-pop on their second Suicide Squeeze full-length 'Menos El Oso.' Recorded, produced, and chiefly knob-twisted by the band itself, 'Menos El Oso' is eleven steps further into the forward-thinking, angular rock canon. Weaving through territories long established by '70s prog-rockers (Yes, Rush), '80s proto punks (Fugazi), and '90s art rock mind-fucks (Jawbox, Joan of Arc), Minus The Bear invokes the modern love affair between dance-driven strategy, and lush, Upper Pacific sweater rock. Released on yuletide (clear with multi-color streaks) vinyl.
