Bear in Heaven recently received a sterling review on Pitchfork and it was pretty spot on. Layer upon layer of drone-y guitars, reminiscent of personal favorites A Place to Bury Strangers (minus the darkness), contribute to the expansiveness of Bear in Heaven. While tending to the abstract on some tracks, Wholehearted Mess is an absolute gem. Vocals float atop an ocean of sound that occasionally crests into massive choruses. Listening to Bear in Heaven is what I imagine Big Sky country out west sounding like if it was a hipster band. I'm going to say it one more time because of my mild obsession, but Wholehearted Mess and this album have been the background to most of my work these days.

Loving that record! Have you thought about using a free service like Promonet to embed downloadable MP3's? They have Bear in Heaven and tons of other great indie music.
