DOWNLOAD: Bear Hands - Golden

Here’s some classic indie rock for you to start the week off: New York’s Bear Hands, who like Pavement and Sebadoh before them, craft melodic rock music over plaintive, poetic lyrics. “Golden”, one of the Bear Hands songs we’re releasing today, is a patchwork of stuttering basslines and heavy, country-twinged guitars that recall all that great ‘90s alternative rock without sounding nostalgic. Same with “Sickly Brunette”, which has a more immediate feel, coupling the Guided By voices-ness with a powerful, ‘70s percussion stomp. The band are playing come upcoming dates in NYC, so make sure to check out their MySpace page for more info.
