Boy & Bear

With Emperor Antarctica

If you're looking for a quick alt country fix then you need to check out this five track E.P. from Australian band Boy & Bear. While there is nothing insanely original going on here. It hits in all the ways that you would want some alt country action to hit. With driving tempo's and reverbed vocal harmonies the E.P. cruises along and before you know it the damb thing is over and you're sitting there with your indie folk junk in your hands desperately wanting more. One aspect that stands out about Boy & Bear that is lacking in other country groups is they heaviness of the rhythm section check out the bad ass drums and sweet bass line on track three "Mexican Mavis". Hopefully these dudes will come out with a full length some time soon and add a bit more experimentation cause you know I love those unorthodox sounds. Big up to Isaac for the heads up.
