A whimsical journey through the mind of a bear
author: Jessi Jonas
It starts off as a mother's dying wish. It wraps up leaving you warm and breathless. Bears Driving Trains is an album that reminds us why we love music; its unique charm, its unparalleled method of driving soul into your heart and heart into your soul. Tracks like Dropping Like Flies and Float Like a Stone render you helpless to the beat. Cryonics makes you actually feel the burn; freezer burn that is. Without a doubt their best album to date.

The band has its own mythology, but the music isn't so far out there as to exclude people. This is what indie pop is supposes to be: weird, moody and experimental, but with a pulse you can tap your foot to.

The lyrics are poetically simple often biting and dark.
