MINUS THE BEAR INTERPRETACIONES DEL OSO

Minus the Bear’s sophomore album was a significant departure from their debut full-length Highly Refined Pirates. The playful guitar-tapping, fluid production, and nostalgia-bating melodies were TRACKLISTING largely excised for air-tight drums, glitchy guitar samples, and an overall 1. Drilling (P.O.S. REDO) air that was more of a futurist interpretation of sepia-toned noir than their 2. Memphis & 53rd (FOG REMIX) predecessor’s contemporary Polaroid romanticism. It was an album that 3. Fulfill the Dream (OLD ITALY REMIX TYONDAI BRAXTON) already sounded like a dark, stuttering remix of their previous efforts. But 4. This Ain’t A Surfin’ Movie (IQU 06 MIX) Minus the Bear was still—in both spirit and instrumentation—a rock 5. The Fix (PLAN B REMIX) band, and those staccato riffs and dance beats practically begged to be 6. Hooray (DARK BABY REMIX) 7. The Game Needed Me re-examined from behind the producer’s console. So the band enlisted a (THE OKTOPUS REMIX) team of underground remix artists to reinvent each of Menos El Oso’s 8. Pachuca Sunrise (ALIAS REMIX) 9. Michio’s Death Drive eleven tracks. The resulting Interpretaciones Del Oso is a wild and (MICHIO AKA MONOSTEREO REMIX) imaginative ride through a dizzying array of sonic reconstructions. P.O.S. 10. El Torrente (J. CLARK REMIX) makes “Drilling” a club banger; FOG turns “Memphis & 53rd” into the 11. The Pig War (O, HUNTER REMIX) kind of murky gloom churned out by reclusive black metalhead Xasthur; Catalog #: SSQ062 Dälek producer Oktopus transforms “The Game Needed Me” into a Street Date: July 8, 2016 Genre: Alternative dreamy druggy daze; Battles’ Tyondai Braxton deconstructs “Fulfill The Format: LP Dream” into a send-up of classic Warp Records IDM.
