The Bear People - Virtual 7" (No.4)



The Virtual 7" series continuous, this time from Waterford's Dave Grimes
Aka The Bear People. I came across The Bear People on a late night
myspace leap frogging session. I was instantly hooked on ,"Farfisa and 808"
with its pounding krautrock beat and heavenly Farfisa distorts and builds
and builds up to a cosmic drone estacy that La Düsseldorf would be proud
of. The second song on the virtual 7" is Black Lodge, which Dave admitted he
thought it was a thowaway till he listened back to it a year later. Well I can't
get enough of it's eerie Beach House esque percussion what sounds like sail
bearings hitting the mast and dreamy guitar melody on top. Check out his
myspace for more deadly download. Hopeful gig promoters will eventually
cop on to him and other quality bands and artists here at home and not just
promote bands from abroad. I know I'm really looking forward to a live
outing from this stupidly talented Artist.
