They may call this math rock but -- contrary to the attempt at
pigeonholing -- it rarely gets boring. Which is usually a good sign
that the usual musical designations don't really apply to Minus the
Bear. The only question that comes up during a casual or earnest
listen to their latest release, Highly Refined Pirates, is this: where
would you place these guys if you had to? Then comes the rejoinder:
who cares? Filled with complex guitar fingerwork, aural synth
embellishment, and spiraling arrangements that recall everything from
King Crimson to More Songs About Building and Food-era Talking Heads
to later work from bands like Fugazi (especially The Argument) and
Juno, Highly Refined Pirates is a trip through what's great about
newer indie rock that doesn't sound like it's trying to be punk
without the danger. Many songs on Highly Refined Pirates float
ethereally above their conventionally driving drum and guitar lines,
and pack a serious lyrical punch to boot. Such as "Get Me Naked 2:
Electric Boogaloo" -- comedy! -- which boasts one of the coolest
choruses ever committed to memory ("You said, 'My life's like a bad
movie'/I said, 'That's true of all of us'/You said 'I've got to wake
up so f**king early'/I said 'Maybe the director's turned on us'). Or
"Let's Play Guitar in a Five-Guitar Band," a dense collection of
echo-heavy vocals, light arpeggiation, distant distortion, and enough
hammer-ons to make Eddie Van Halen proud. But the greatest thing about
this Minus the Bear album is that it doesn't let its sonic complexity
go to its head. Each of Highly Refined Pirates' songs is filled with
tongue-in-cheek lyrical wordplay (like that cited above) or entitled
with toss-off lines from Paul Verhoeven's outer space soap opera,
Starship Troopers (samples: "You Kill Bugs Good, Man" or "Damn Bugs
Whacked Him, Johnny"). Al in all, Highly Refined Pirates will probably
satisfy the music notation nerds, the indie cynics, and the random
listener searching for something indefinite in a saturated pop
landscape looking to hawk the usual boring band du jour. Download: ifolder | rapidshare

::
:: "Fresh off a U.S. tour, Seattle's indie absurdists Minus The
:: Bear have rejoined Suicide Squeeze, following an interlude
:: with Arena Rock, for their second full-length, due out August
:: 23. Abandoning their past modus operandi of
:: titling-as-homage-to-buffoonery-i.e. 2002's Highly Refined
:: Pirates and 2004's They Make Beer Commercials Like This-the
:: band has settled for an almost self-titled album: Menos El
:: Oso (Minus the Bear en espaсol). Oso is Minus The Bear's
:: first self-produced record, which, singer Jake Snider says,
:: "allowed us to bounce ideas off one another without having to
:: worry about the ego of a producer sitting there." It may have
:: also helped that keyboardist Matt Bayles is a producer who
:: has worked with Isis, Mastadon and the Blood Brothers.
:: Recorded in and around Seattle, the new album promises to be
:: more refined than the group's past outings, with a flurry of
:: vocal, keyboard and electronic embellishments (and less songs
:: from Snider about drinking and girls)."

Release Notes:
The more distant you get in our solar system, the
more the planets tend to be covered with ice; from
the lunar South Pole to the rings of Saturn, the
substance seems to coat the outer reaches of our
universe like a snowy blanket. Alternately, for the
past six years, Seattle's Minus the Bear have
orbited the music world like a distant meteor,
fine-tuning their unique brand of indie rock and
discovering how technology can help enhance the
band's unique pop vision - all of which is about to
culminate with their latest full-length Planet of
Ice, an album showing the band not so much
transforming their sound as transcending it.
Formed in Seattle, Washington in 2001, Minus the
Bear was initially formed by guitarist David
Knudson, bassist Cory Murchy, and drummer Erin Tate
who eventually recruited keyboardist/sequencer, Matt
Bayles and vocalist/guitarist Jake Snider. Once in
the same room they realized they were on to
something special - and the band quickly earned a
rabid and rapidly growing fan base ranging from
teenagers to middle-aged parents. "I know every band
says they can't explain their music, but I really
can't say that we sound like one specific thing,"
Murchy explains. "We don't follow a particular scene
or genre and hopefully that shows."
Although the band has released a handful of EPs and
two full-lengths in their prolific career (most
recently 2005's Menos El Oso and the sister remix CD
Interpretaciones Del Oso), with Planet of Ice the
band - which now features new keyboardist Alex Rose
- have taken their brand of idiosyncratic indie rock
to new heights. "I feel like this is the most
cohesive record we've done," Murchy says. "I hate
the term 'organic,' but that's kind of the one term
I can think of when comparing this to our other
records because there's a lot of weird electronic
stuff going on there, but there's some really raw
riffage as well."
Recorded at Robert Lang Studios and Red Room with
former keyboardist Matt Bayles - who has produced
albums by Mastodon, Fall of Troy and The Blood
Brothers - and Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes,
Mouth Of The Architect), Planet of Ice shows the
band allowing negative space and an airy openness to
permeate their music; from the distinctively
danceable opener "Burying Luck" to the syncopated
sample-driven "Knights" to the album's epic 9 minute
closer "Lotus," which evokes acts like Yes and Pink
Floyd, minus the self-indulgent tendencies. Although
all the musicians in Minus the Bear are technically
talented - as anyone who's seen Knudson's unique
approach to the guitar which features two-handed
tapping and live looping already knows - Planet of
Ice shows the band focusing on songwriting instead
of showiness.
This was really the first album where we were all
writing together as a team and Alex was definitely
instrumental in that," Murchy explains. "Alex is an
amazing keyboard player and it was great to have
another musical force in the band." With former
keyboardist Bayles behind the boards, the entire
extended Minus the Bear family was present in the
creation of the record - and all these distinctive
musical personalities make for an album that could
never be fully realized by one or two songwriters.
Lyrically, the album focuses on human interactions,
but in a detached way that Snider explains as more
like a one-night stand than a long-term
relationship. "The songs are different in terms of
theme, but the ones that do connect to relationships
are of the fleeting kind," he explains. However,
despite the occasional personal references on the
album, the central theme of Planet of Ice involves
nightmarish, nearly apocalyptic imagery. A perfect
example is the aforementioned "Lotus," a song Snider
describes as being "about the influence religion has
on our secular government and how the combination of
God and guns leads to wars of false righteousness."
While this may sound like pretty heavy content, the
lack of preaching or posturing prevents Planet of
Ice's lyrical content from weighing down the group's
music.
Minus the Bear's globally conscious outlook has in
no doubt been influenced by the amount of time the
band spend on the road, seamlessly pulling off their
song's sonic intricacies live on festivals like
Coachella and Bamboozle, as well as alongside
seemingly disparate acts such as Cursive, Russian
Circles, Criteria, P.O.S. and The Velvet Teen. "It's
an interesting contrast," Snider explains, about the
dichotomy between the band's dark lyricism and
upbeat music, which is ever more prevalent on Planet
of Ice. "I think that duality often makes for a
better song because it gives it so much tension," he
continues. "Subconsciously, that was even more
exaggerated on this record due to being on the road
so much and seeing the reality of this country
firsthand."
In true Minus the Bear fashion, the band plan to
stay on the road for the next year-and-a-half
promoting Planet of Ice and continuing to write and
push the limits of their sound. "There's kind of a
joke that if there was a part that we would play and
it made you laugh, it must be good," Murchy explains
about the band's well-known sense of humor. "As far
as the music goes, we do take it seriously but we
also like to have a good time - and hopefully the
attention to detail, especially at our live
performances, shows through to people," he adds. "We
want it to sound right, but on the same token we do
like to have a laugh and fuck around," he
summarizes. "It's a nice balance."
