So, do you need a reason to look forward to Mondays? Well, how about this one? Every Monday (as well as Wednesday and Friday), the Portland based Podington Bear (aka P Bear, not Panda Bear) releases upon the online sharing community a new electropop instrumental track that's 100% free. It's an experiement that he started on Janurary 1st and plans to continue until the end of the year (that's 52.177457 weeks or 156.532371 songs!). Despite the rigorous schedule put upon himself, P Bear's songs don't sound rushed. While the compositions are relatively simple, they're also highy layered with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. Some are bouncy, feel good distractions. Others are slow, calming, and reflective. I like to think of it as the perfect background music, meaning it's clever enough for a closer listen, but also an ideal listen at the office, working around the house, or even walking the dog. Highly recommended!
Go To Sleep
A sweet song today. This one already satisfying a request to do a song about dreaming. Part 1 is the lullabye. Part II is sleep (or non REM stages 1-4. Listener Tod can visualize his baby sleep-laughing here). Then something happens! - P Bear
(A similar experiment was undertook by my friends The Hometown Nobodies. You can check them out here.)
