Minus the Bear

Musically, Seattle's Minus the Bear is one of my favorite bands out there. It's a constantly changing and driving beat with intensely melodic moments. Lots of hammer-ons-and-offs on the guitars, time changes, various droning electronic elements, that kind of thing. In my opinion, they are one of the most consistent indie rock bands playing today, their signature sound only maturing, not changing with the seasons. These two tracks are from their upcoming record, due in August. Should be tremendous. Pre-order available soon...
