This one is proper great. West London folk trio Bear’s Den have released a beautiful new single “Think Of England” and appropriately melancholy film clip to pair with it. The song is a deep ballad that shows once again that the brits just bloody know how to get it done. They take any genre there is and do it better.
Minimalistic accompaniments pair with guitar that only peeks its head out when most appropriate. Horns play another helper, but it’s really in the emotive and crushing lyrics of frontman Andrew Davie that provide the cut through that hits you deep in your soul.
The single comes from the band’s debut album Islands, which was released via Communion Records/Dew Process in October of last year.
