Sounds Like Brooklyn: Bear in Heaven

Brooklyn locals Bear In Heaven with Analogue Transit will be playing at BAM CAFE (30 Lafeyette Avenue) this Saturday, February 7th @ 10pm for FREE! Bar opens at 8pm.

From the BAM site "Trading predictable backbeats and choruses for a strange brew of vertiginous electronic sound, Brooklyn-based band Bear in Heaven lifts the indie aesthetic into the digital sublime. Jon Philpot’s luminous voice along with a bubbling, high-voltage sound begs the listeners to abandon themselves to the vortex. Brooklyn-based electro-pop duo Analogue Transit sets the mood."
