Today Bear's Den, who are vastly becoming one of my favourite bands to emerge in 2013, announced the release of their third EP via a website statement- "Without/Within" is due for release via Communion Records on October 27th this year. They also unveiled a preview of its opening track, "Sahara".
"SAHARA" - Bear's Den
Those that have been to one of their gigs, or seen them play at numerous festivals over the summer will maybe recognise in the tracklisting "The Writing On The Wall" from their live set, and "Don't Let The Sun Steal You Away" was previously released with lead singer Andrew Davie's 2009 project Cherbourg.
"Sahara" I find much more powerful and raw than anything else they've ever released before. With a gorgeously minimal opening sliding down from the simplest of runs on keys, it swells into the most immense floods of instrumental break, with drums that go though you like heartbeats, soft and strong thumps of bass and lyrics that go between articulate and the simple yet brilliant "You said I could never be happy with anyone, but I found love".
If it's anything to go by, following the triumph of "Agape" this is more promising than anything they've done so far, and I'm definitely excited to see their incredible progress continue.
