BiH – BRFM: BNM

What if Nine Inch Nails-inspired modern rock dialed in on Trent Reznor’s simmering synth-pop fixation, instead of begetting aggro mid-90s stuff like Filter and Stabbing Westward? What if Secret Machines bought vintage Korgs and hired Doug Martsch to sing? What if the M83 guy were less French and more alt-bro? These (and others!) are the sorts of fantasy-GM style descriptions Bear in Heaven’s new album invites.  Though I still manage to transpose the words of the album title every time I utter it aloud (in the same way as their previous albums Red Bloom of the Boom and Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers), I’ve managed to review the entirety of Beast Rest Forth Mouth over at Pitchfork, in an exceedingly positive manner.  They are represented by Hometapes, which is a fine label, and I highly recommend you spend your money on their variety of musical products.
