MP3: The Bear Quartet - I'm still her
Frequent contributor Matt Giordano has this week's BQ post:
It's always tough to choose your favourite Bear Quartet, because the variety is so much and the band's back catalogue is filled with so many EPs and LPs it's a bit overwhelming. For mine, I've chosen "I'm still her" from 2003's "Angry brigade". There's just something about the music in this song — it's absolutely gorgeous. Of course, Mattias Alkberg's hauntingly frail vocal take just further exemplifies the struggle of life and of self-realisation, and that's reflected in the somewhat [albeit purposely] confused song title. This track is cold, aching, and just stunning.
I'm still looking for more people to contribute their own thoughts on the mighty Bear Quartet. Best song, worst song, whatever you want - I want to know all about it. Get in touch!
