Bear In Heaven release Time Is Over One Day Old (tour dates)

Bear In Heaven are endearing to listeners of various stripes.  BIH is essentially a project of- originally Athens, GA based Jon Philpot's- which has been a reliable trio since the 2010 release of Beast Rest Forth Mouth.   Philpot plays synths, Adam Wills (bass) and drums (Joe Stickney).   Their psychedelic sound is deeply informed by krautrock and electronic music.  Philpot's preening falsetto is so high that admittedly the first time I saw them in concert I was actually surprised to realize he was a man.  After meeting them I also pleasantly learned that they are all died in the wool Deadheads although one could only hear that influence in their music in the most muted of ways.

2012's I Love You It's Cool failed to ignite the same critical fanfare that rightly accompanied their first noticed release.  Time Is Over One Day Old is a clear progression along the trajectory of these three albums each distinguished by a phased droning quality as well as the sharp precision and 'familiar' songwriting of Philpot.
