Sounds Like"...chilled-out Arcade Fire, Promenade, Bright Eyes on helium... Elliott Smith-ish... Indie Pop Barry White... less angsty, male version of Fiona Apple... the album, while distinct, falls somewhere between Bright Eyes’ Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and Arcade Fire’s Funeral." - Mike Breen, CityBeat

   About Wake the Bear
album coverWAKE THE BEAR: If We Survive This Rapture

From aliens, chickens and surviving the 1980s – to a dog, a god, and an ogling man-boy – If We Survive This Rapture wears its heart on its sleeve – without the cheese. Up-beat poppers. Low-key stoppers. Frailly held together with stuck-in-your-head glue. The sound weaves assorted keyboards, guitars, rhythms, 1970s womens choirs, gin-soaked vocals and dog whines.

album coverWAKE THE BEAR: Woe Is Meat

Melodic layers of indie guitars, keys, rhythms and scotch-soaked vocals with an occasional dog bark.

But, when are you coming out with new material?
