Bear's Den
Amoeba Review

Bear’s Den are experts at creating crossover-friendly rootsy numbers that fit in nicely next to works from likeminded bands Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, or Bon Iver. But on their latest, So That You Might Hear Me, they’re stepping out, building on their backwoods sensibilities, incorporating electronic elements, bold horns, and rowdy guitar riffs. There’s a lot of heart here as well as a lot of boot-stompin’ hootenanny potential. On So That You Might Hear Me, the London trio have crafted an intimate, earnest collection of songs that finds the band experimenting and evolving their familiar indie folk sound to great success.
