So it's December, and people are putting together their 'Best of 2010' lists. There was a lot of great music this year, but one of my favorite new records was actually released back in October 2009. That record is Beast Rest Forth Mouth, from a band called Bear In Heaven.
Animal Collective is an easy reference in certain respects - lush electronic pop with tribal drumming. But the sound from Bear In Heaven is darker, more otherworldly. Powerful, fantastic vocals. If you're looking for a sample track, try "Lovesick Teenagers".
I love how BIH bring back a section from "Lovesick Teenagers" in the album closer "Casual Goodbye". Reminds me of how awesome it was when Pink Floyd bookended Wish You Were Here with the different parts of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
