(7.5)
Great music comes from Brooklyn. Mos Def, Tribe Called Quest, Yeasayer, Talib Kweli, TV on the Radio, the list goes on and on. From what I hear, Brooklyn is the hippest place in the states right now.
Bear in Heaven is a promising band. It's like beautiful sleepy (Deafening Love) indie music that can be epic and times (You Do You). There's even a touch of late Shoegaze with some great pitch bending (Dust Cloud), which in my opinion is the best track of the lot. The songs are well crafted, great dynamics, and they can actually play their instruments (the drums in Beast in Peace?). It has a strange sound, that perfectly blends this organic rootys unaltered sound with a good amount of electronic. Also Jon Philpot's voice doesn't stack up to Chris Keating of Yeasayer, but it doesn't suck at all.
Don't assume it sucks when it puts you to sleep. It's soothing as hell. Not everything needs to be annoyingly loud.
Sounds Like
Yeasayer with out all the ethnic influences. Peaceful and Beautiful
