New Bear With Me Single

Århus-based multi-instrumentalist Bear With Me returns with third track ‘Looking For’, which shows a more organic and acoustic side and announces his debut EP, to be released in May. With beautiful vocal harmonies, acoustic guitars, floating synths not unlike fellow Nordic acts Röyksopp, Kings of Convenience, Bear With Me is at the center of an eclectic music milieu that comes out of the city of Århus.

With only two singles out, half-Dane, half-Norwegian, Thorbjørn Kaas has already been compared to Air, Tame Impala, Röyksopp, Jaako Eino Kalevi and is a great example of left-of-center alternative indie-pop. About the track Thorbjørn says: “I wrote the song after being hit by the fever for a couple of days. Suddenly the sun started shining a morning in a cold April and the birds started singing. I grabbed my mother’s guitar and went out in the garden. Having been unable to play for days and leaving it was such a relief to express myself. Originally the acoustic guitar and the vocal harmonies were the only elements in the song. We took the acoustic guitar out of the arrangement when we orchestrated the song as a band, but realized we missed this organic touch”.

The themes of the song bears witness of that manic state having the fever puts you in, reflecting on how to live your life in hindsight and how this maybe restricts how the present is perceived. So, is it the past or the present we are living for and what is it we are searching for? As for now it is a good track to listen to right here, right now and hopefully a track that will be part of some memories that you can look back on.
