Bear In Heaven - Beast Rest Forth Mouth



  • Non-gatefold

Brooklyn-based experimental rock band, Bear In Heaven released their second album, Beast Rest Forth Mouth in 2009, garnering mostly positive critical reception including being awarded the honor of "Best New Music" by Pitchfork.

Utilizing electronically distorted instruments and a few instances of tribal drum beats, it is hard to classify Beast Rest Forth Mouth into an exact genre. It's certainly psychedelic enough, incorporating elements of Kraut rock, making for a fairly unique, and very fresh sounding record. Standout tracks include "Beast In Peace", "Wholehearted Mess", and "You Do You".


The LP is pressed on an equal number of translucent red and blue colored vinyl. It has a very warm, inviting sound to it and should not be missed if you're a fan of the band.

The red vinyl edition is packaged in a blue cover, while the blue vinyl edition is packaged in a red cover. Both versions feature the same artwork. Lyrics and credits are displayed on a large newspaper foldout.

    I'm really glad that I found this blog. I really enjoy Indie music because it portrays a different aspect of music, and strays from the melancholy justin beiber crap now-a-days.

    Indie music is the best music - apart from classical, of course :)
