Dutch lo-fi psychedelic indie band Lost Bear have a knack for coming up with harsh songs that sound like they were recorded under water. Their new album Monkey Pop is filled with songs telling stories about nightmares set in dystopia. Pretty bleak stuff that will be appreciated by fans of Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and early Seventies Krautrock.
Monkey Pop is a soft-spoken, disturbing and claustrophobic album. Think The Cure having a sleepover with Pavement, with marching drums and keyboards and guitar rolling down the road like tumbleweed filmed in slow motion. If you are hungry for menacing music, order a plate of Slaughterhouse Pancakes or go for the hipster repellent Friday Night Live Music.
