Official Press Release:
The more distant
you get in our solar system, the more the planets tend to be covered
with ice; from the lunar South Pole to the rings of Saturn, the substance
seems to coat the outer reaches of our universe like a snowy blanket.
Alternately, for the past six years, Seattle's Minus the Bear
have orbited the music world like a distant meteor, fine-tuning their
unique brand of indie rock and discovering how technology can help enhance
the band's unique pop vision - all of which has culminated with their
latest full-length Planet of Ice, an album showing the band not
so much transforming their sound as transcending it ‘with brilliant
countermelodies and sublime textures’ – Alternative Press.
Minus the
Bear's globally conscious outlook has in no doubt been influenced
by the amount of time the band spend on the road, seamlessly pulling
off their song's sonic intricacies live on festivals like Coachella
and Bamboozle. With that philosophy in mind February 2008 will see Minus The Bear sweeping the Australian landscape for the first time.
