Bear In Heaven - The Reflection of You (Hometapes)
5/5
By: Stan Morgan
The last album by Brooklynites Bear In Heaven, 2009’s Beast Rest Forth Mouth, saw the band bask in universal critical acclaim for their brand of 80s referencing synth-rock, and being named in countless album of the year lists as a result. The anticipation for their follow-up has been steadily increasing, not least since the band started streaming a 400,000% slowed down version of the album on their website (it’s due to end on the album’s release date).
The first proper song they’ve let us hear is ‘The Reflection of You’, a track that sounds like it could fit seamlessly into Beast Rest Forth Mouth, which in this case is a very good thing indeed. It only takes a few seconds of the song to convince you that it’s got one of the coolest sounds you’re likely to hear on a record this year, and by the time the synth-heavy outro kicks in you’ll be willing to leave your family and friends behind and elope to wherever it wants to take you. It’s that bloody good.
