Bear In Heaven - The Reflection of You

There's no shortage of indie bands coming out of Brooklyn right now, but the trio Bear In Heaven are doing something a little different. With an 80s style clash of synths providing the main melody and dreamy lyrics on top you'd be forgiven for thinking they're just like MGMT or Real Estate..but they're not. Those lyrics are deep and heartfelt, and those synths are meticulous in their arrangement, they don't want you dancing, they want to reminiscing..this is no pop music, it's much more experimental than that.

“There’s nothing but a numbness between us,” it says, “but hey, just dance with me. Maybe we’ll feel something.”

Check the track out below and see for yourself, and watch out for their full length album 'I Love You, It’s Cool', due in April.

We Were Promised Jetpacks – Act On Impulse

I can't believe I only just discovered these guys. They have a really unusual, yet familiar sound that is being called 'post-rock'. Personally I think it has a slight indie flavour to it as well. Nevertheless these guys are really interesting and worth checking out. 

The track 'Act On Impulse' is the latest single to be released from their album 'In The Pit Of The Stomach'. This is their second album after their 2009 debut EP 'These Four Walls', both are available via iTunes
