Bear's Den recently performed at Baeble Music's Bands and Brews Sessions during their visit to New York City for CMJ Music Marathon. Watch here: http://bit.ly/1yMKGqn. The band plays songs off their debut LP Islands, out now on Communion Records.
The video for the album's single "Above the Clouds of Pompeii" is available worldwide at VEVO (http://po.st/ATCOPVevo).
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 record was 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 received nearly 500,000 views. Watch a clip of the band discussing Islandsand their creative process here: http://bit.ly/1F5xRcH.
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.
The band will conclude their U.S. tour tomorrow at Warsaw in Brooklyn, NY with more stateside dates to be added soon. See below for details.
