Annual Bears

Chris Vineyard of Big Hassle Media was nice enough to pass the new Minus the Bear Acoustics EP on to me this week. The EP features six songs off of several previous albums and one new track called Guns and Anmo which you can download for free here. This slowed down set has more warmth than MTB's typical experimental electronics and will of course lend itself to more intimate settings. I still love the original Pachuca Sunrise off of Menos el Oso released in '05.



Minus the Bear kicks off another tour tomorrow, Oct. 8th, and a list of dates and cities can be found here. They're touring with a band called Annuals, who COINCIDENTALLY are also releasing a second album today called Such Fun. The song Brother off of their debut album Be He Me is definitely worth a listen if you aren't familiar with the band and can be found here. Side note: these guys have visited here in Cincinnati before and met up with the woxy boys for a lounge act-
