Release Notes:
If Bear in Heaven's reps weren't working New Moon ticket queues with sound vans
and promo swag, they missed a brilliant opportunity. No one's nailed adolescent
melodrama this well since, I dunno, My Chemical Romance? And in this case,
critics don't have to stoop to bestow a condescending "guilty pleasure"
disclaimer: Beast Rest Forth Mouth is a nigh-perfect collection of confident
songwriting and magnificent production detail. Check how "Wholehearted Me", a
brisk, surly bedroom raver bridging Power, Corruption & Lies and Oracular
Spectacular rides decaying feedback and cymbal spray into "You Do You"'s robotic
rhythms. The latter betrays a more-than-passing familiarity with fellow Brooklyn
band Yeasayer's utopian psychedelia, but from "Dust Storm"'s queasy dissonance
to "Drug a Wheels"'s fog-machined atmospherics, BRFM views the world through a
goth lens. A moody brew of surging hormones and consumptive crushes, the album
speaks to the misunderstood vampire-- or lovesick teenager-- in all of us
