Did you hear the one about the band with the three month long album stream?
In advance of the release of their third album I Love You, It’s Cool, Bear In Heaven are streaming a special version of the album on their website at 400,000% slower than normal so the whole thing takes three months to listen to and will finish just in time for the release of the album on April 3rd.
If you haven’t got hours to spare to listen to one snare hit then take a much quicker listen and watch to the band’s new single/video ‘Reflection Of You’ which sounds like something Friendly Fires or Junior Boys might have concocted. It was directed by PFFR (Wonder Showzen). Read an interview with the band about their new album and the elongated stream.
