Minus the Bear

Editor's Review:

On Minus the Bear’s Spanish-ly eponymous new CD, the long-underrated indie rockers manage to incorporate dance-able beats, ample synths and memorable hooks without sounding anything like the multitudes of neo-new wave bands storming the shores of pop music. Though the band has long been known more for their tongue-in-cheek lyrics and song titles, this notoriety has often taken away from the fact that they do kick quite a lot of ass, musically. Like a streamlined version of the Dismemberment Plan, Minus the Bear fill the 50-plus minutes of Menos El Oso with enough electronically aided indie funk to kill The Braverys and Killers of the world stone dead. Dancing with crossed arms never seemed so right.
