Solar Bears - Inner Sunshine EP

Another upcoming release by new Planet Mu signing Solar Bears, a month before the LP - completely different tracks including a wicked remix by Lone.

Just found out about this- really liking these guys. They kind of sound like BOC doing Morricone-esque film music and Krautrock, just awesome!

Pre-ordered this from Mu a bit back. When you say 'another' upcoming release, is there something else I missed apart from the album?

Ah right, gotcha now, I misread your OP.

Just checked out samples of this and the LP. Me like.

Me likey too....

If anyone's interested and didn't already know, there's a remix by Solar Bears on this EP, which you can download for free from here (just scroll down a bit). Incidentally, the whole Furs EP is rather nice.

thanks for the heads up chief!

bah

samples are too fucking short, these types of songs only get going after a minute in.

\ grh

I've been listening to the samples for this and the full length over and over, I'm really really excited for these releases!

This EP is veeeeery nice.

Really? That was the first reason I checked out this EP, but I ended up liking the sound of the whole thing so that was pretty lucky. I can't remember if you've expressed any interest in Lone on WATMM? This sounds more like his own more recent stuff that's been circulating since 'Ecstasy and Friends', quite a bit different to earlier Lone tracks.

Yeah, I have expressed ambivalence regarding Lone's music before. It's not bad I just find it too run-of-the-mill.

Only just hearsd of them, and they're supposed to be from this part of the world too.

just chiming in again to say ive been jamming this release a lot recently, it's fantastic.

i lovelovelove when photo negative living breaks out into shoegaze

Album out Monday too.
