Minus the Bears fifth studio album! The Seattle-based fivesome reunited with former member and longtime producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Cursive) to create a guitar-laden 10-track record that is heavy both on technicality and pop songcraft.

Diamond Lightning, so reminiscent of the somber Planet of Ice, has a way of crawling into your ears and refusing to leave. Jake Sniders dark, distant vocals are out in full force, while the guitar work gently glides behind it. Its a song thats sad but catchy and perfectly demonstrative of the work Minus the Bear is capable of. Lies and Eyes, armed with Sniders halting vocals and the bands signature prog-rock approach, is another track worth spending some time with. Its a song stuck somewhere between pop-rock and indie electro – a track so like the bands older work that perhaps thats what makes it appealing.
