Song of the Day - Bear With Me

Today's song of the day comes from the wondefully named American indie rock band Minus The Bear. Not content with possibly the greatest band name of all time, they have some equally bizarrely titled music. For example, on their debut LP, Highly Refined Pirates, they have a song called Get Me Naked 2: The Electric Boogaloo. Yeah.

Checking out the names of their discography is well worth the time, but most of it isn't quite up to the standard of their naming. However, today's song My Time is actually quite good.

So What's So Good?

Minus The Bear are like a band of uncles, both through their image and their slightly unorthodox playing style. What is surprising is their skill. They are very skilled musicians who are superb at creating complex music.

My Time is incredibly complex, due to the intelligent guitar work. It's slightly overproduced but it sounds really impressive. Minus The Bear are a very clever band and the hooks are catchy and fun, yet they're pragmatic and brainy. It's hard to articulate without listening to their stuff.

Minus The Bear are an incredibly unique band who are intelligent but make some slightly bizarre music. You may love them, or you may just shrug your shoulders at them.
