Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai - ‘Sweetness and Light’ EP (BS008 - 2009)
…a bit like imagining some bliss cradled smooching session between godspeed and black heart procession with Leonard Cohen calling briefly by to offer up some trademark tube supplements. Essential of course. [The Sunday Experience]
Sweetness & Light flows so beautifully there is a real emotional feel to this music… Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai make some beautiful and insane music sometimes all at once. ...a beautiful EP that both pulls on your heart strings and makes interesting new shapes with a wonderful sonic pallet. [The Sonic Mine Field]
…it’s a queasy macabre journey but one which is quite beautiful in its own twisted little way. there are frequent moments of fragile beauty to be treasured from the apparent dissonance and chaos. Overall, it’s another winner from Bearsuit Records who seem to have a never ending supply of wayward geniuses on their roster. [Leonards’ Lair]
Sweetness And Light is a prime example of deconstructionist pop music that keeps a nice balance between experimentalism and song writing. Highly recommendable! [DisAgreement]
…a 5-track debut release of various lyrical, melodic and rhythmical experiments. …there are incentives that make me want to believe that something truly great can come out of Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai. [Audiotier]

V/A : "CAPTAIN WOOF WOOFS' GUITAR" (BS007 - 2009) £6.00(via Paypal) :
the artists are :
Port Mone (Belarus) / Alone Together (Japan) / The Artificial Sea (USA) / Kirameki (Japan/UK) / Milenka (France/Greenland) / Taub (Germany/UK) / Whizz Kid (Belgium/UK) / Per Olund Band (Sweden) / SadoMundo (Italy) / Anata Wa Sukkari Tsukarete Shimai (Japan/UK) / Mr Fritz and Magnitophono (Greece/UK) / The Temple Cloud Country Club (UK) / Lettelete aka Ememe (Japan) / Harold Nono and Hidekazu Wakabayashi (Japan/UK)
Although it’s a compilation of artists from the Bearsuit Records label, it sounds more like a world showcase for experimentalism. Yet it’s not all about shocks and surprises; within this compilation are artists who share a common goal for creating music which is intelligent, fascinating and unique. [Leonards' Lair]
there’s originality gushing out of the ears of their little panda bear suits. [AltSounds]
Captain Woof Woofs’ Guitar is a compilation full of musical surprises that should enchant every explorer of hitherto unknown music styles. …a small yet fine indie label that does its best to present original music to the world. Experimentalists will have a field day! [DisAgreement]
there's plenty of interest to be found here, and there isn't a duff or dull track to be found across the 14 collected here. Credit must go to the guys at Bearsuit, not only for finding such a remarkable array of out-there acts, but also for sequencing this compilation so attentively...
[whisperinandhollerin]
A nice compilation where melody and experimentation meet. [Noisebrigade]
Pretty much all of it holds up well enough …and the constant variety holds one's interest. [From the] jubilant piano-and-glockenspiel-laden romp from Whizz Kid to Alone Together's blissful “Komoriuta”… [Textura]
14 songs impress the listener with moodiness and associations of a rather dark and beautiful spirit. Not only the old stars shine in a dimmed but glorious light but the consistency of the quality is rather down-right intriguing and leaving you gasping for more. It's a record that has captured sparks of the new-underground alternative music scene. [AUDIOTIER]
this particular release has been compiled with rather more than usual care and, if you like this sort of thing, then you will find much to enjoy.[Bluesbunny]

Various Artists : "A WEEVIL IN A BISCUIT" (BS004 - 2007)
"...a compilation album that showcases Bearsuit Records as a label dealing in the strange and beautiful, an eclectic collection of artists and music that whilst often veering toward the surreal, are always anchored in the sublime." [uk music search]
*
"It’s fair to say that all the tracks on here are nothing short of sparkling, scintillating and cerebral...
the quality of the selection is outstanding – the artists on here are not afraid to experiment and to take the musical format of their choice to new territories" [Heathen Harvest]
*
"Experimental leftfield electronic ambience from artists the world over, Open your mind people! This is one of the most offbeat albums I've ever been asked to consider…The atmospheric output is based around diverse rhythms, uses electro pop, lullabies, folk-rock and blues…"
[subba-cultcha.com]
*
"This compilation works like an alternative radio: experimental pop tunes that are throughout pleasant to hear, never too long or alienated. Nicely coherent, even when it is diverse…"
[Vital Weekly]
*
"The quality level is high… with the set rich in variety—electropop, bedroom lullabies, and grungy folk-rock are just three of the styles on display—and sequenced judiciously.
…contains a healthy share of memorable moments."
[Textura]
*
"It’s a weird, melodic-oriented sampler, give it a try for they may have discovered the heirs of Plone, or Mum or the new answer to Hood and Postal Service among their ranks..." [Chain D.L.K]
*
"Featuring a selection of artists from around the world, it might well make an interesting addition to your collection.
As a compilation, this release actually works… it deserves to find a wider audience than it probably will."
[Bluesbunny]
*
"a strange and enigmatic cd..."
[Subcity Radio]
*
"There’s enough quality here to warrant close attention. Among the many highlights are the epic soundscapes of Limbic Somnus and the plaintive Mum-esque melodies of Linda Bjalla, but pretty much everything here is at least worth a listen."
[The List]
