Minus the Bear

I’ve talked at length in previous Frequency editions about the fact that I can’t believe how friggin’ catchy Minus the Bear seems to have gotten out of nowhere. And how I have no moral objection to said shift, either. I know I talk a big game about musical integrity and not compromising and blah blah blah, but I’m going to have to give this one a free pass. I don’t care what anyone says, “My Time” is such a perfectly arranged pop jam under the guise of indie artistry. I could blast that song in my car and sing along to it day and night, completely unashamedly. I’ve always had a great respect for the band, specifically for the technicality of their instrumentation, but I’m so much more stoked now that they actually got kind of fun with their latest album. - Brien Overly
