_______________________________________________________________________
Bear in Heaven has a new album, their first. We - and the band
- have been carrying it around in our pockets for what seems
like ages. Today we are so so very happy to present "Red Bloom
of the Boom" and our friends Jon, Adam, Sadek, and Joe. This
record can unlock your doors without a key. It can steal your
blankets and still whisper you to sleep. It'll take your ears
out of town, and the packaging will hide in the trunk and
surprise you later. Yeah, we're talking in metaphors - but
have you heard this f'ing record? Listen, swoon, and get it.
Observe the converted:
From PopMatters:
"In Red Bloom of the Boom, Bear in Heaven has created
something special. ItÆs created an album of fantastic variety,
opening with a splurge of cacophonous noise and ending with
pared-down whispers, acoustic guitar, and cello. ItÆs an album
that rewards repeated listens with subtle revelations in and
amongst the distorted synths and guitars; an album that is at
once both thought-provoking and exciting. WhatÆs even more
impressive is that itÆsÆ done so on its debut offering."

From All Music:
"Starting with a scraggly shimmer that sounds like a cross
between a dying keyboard and an alarm drone from the robot
wars (whenever they'll be fought), Red Bloom of the Boom gets
this much right at the start -- it's not another tunefully
epic guitar production for indie rock dreamers, and for that
listeners should all be duly grateful. If anything, Bear in
Heaven sound enjoyably out of place, with their obvious love
for whatever post-rock became in the late '90s transmuted into
immediate but not dumbed-down catchiness...On the whole, Red
Bloom of the Boom, if it won't immediately stand out in
today's music universe, deserves attention as a calm
pleasure." [http://wm01.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?
