One Weird Thing is That You Have Probably Never Listened To This Album

The Bears
Eureka! (2007)
Feature Track: On

I know about The Bears because of their association with guitarist, electronics guru and producer Adrian Belew. Their 2007 release Eureka! is a masterpiece. However, if you hurry now, perhaps you can be the 700th person to listen to the album on Youtube. On Spotify, The Bears are not faring much better.

Despite the relative small impact these metrics would suggest, with the advent of nearly flawless data storage and playback system with little or no degradation, time will prove this band out to be one of the most influential and powerful musical forces to emerge out of this era of recorded pop music.

This band touches on the edge of the best sounds Weezer ever achieved while intermittently breaking out into disastrous hooks that must be an influence on Dave Grohl's ever maturing sound.

Relentless pop assault delivered via viciously purposefully counter-sound. Eureka will be 10 years old next year. It stands with anything released this year or last.
