Bring in your floor toms, glass beer bottles, and fiery angst. Loosen your guitar strings until they’re an echo of an empty sound. Find someone primo to record you (in St. Louis, it’s Ryan Wasoba), and borrow a few friends for the band. Blend these ingredients on “liquefy” for 30 seconds (adding your own spices, of course), and you’ve got the base for a great EP.
Cold Bear Scout’s Let’s Meet the Sun and Moon is one such confection. The project is a product of Steven Colbert’s creative vision, and several musicians from Exercise/Berlin Whale and So Many Dynamos make appearances. The EP showcases the innovation and manipulation of instruments and sound that have become the trademark of the St. Louis independent music scene. Rolling, war-like drums on “Bad Parts” are foiled by almost whimsical, carnival-like melodies on “From Time to Time.” CBS draws from the polarities of human experience, twisting them into darker reflections of life.
Pick up this EP. Celebrate that friends in our neighborhood are working hard to give us great music.
