Personally, I'll be just as excited about the album no matter how its released, especially considering the awesome video jam (see below) they posted on their myspace earlier this year. This is nonetheless pretty interesting, considering the fact that self-financing and self-releasing seems to be a growing trend in bands like Minus The Bear, who are sort of bridging the gap between the underground and mainstream music scenes.
via Minneapolis Fucking Rocks: Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear are currently hard at work on their highly anticipated fourth studio album, still untitled. Excited to expand on their inimitable brand of rock n roll songwriting and explore their existing love of audio ingenuity, the band teamed up with Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chicarelli (My Morning Jacket, The White Stripes) to lend a helping hand. Loved for their brilliant countermelodies and progressive arrangements by legions of fans, the band plans on taking their endless creativity and craft, which has been praised by the likes of Spin, Alternative Press, Paste and others, to new heights on this new album.
Minus the Bear will take the opportunity to self finance their new album, giving them full control in an evolving industry.
Speaking of great music, new Grizzly Bear comes out tomorrow, as well as new Phoenix. And we've only a few weeks until new Rancid, Sonic Youth, and Dirty Projectors. 2009 is quickly becoming the best year for music in recent memory, and I couldn't be more excited.
