Awash In Summer (Grin and Bear It)
I'm awash in summer - and music, a huge pile of awesome music, and I've been the bottleneck, but I'm back with four great summer songs to for our four final summer weekend.First up: 'Warm and Easy,' some aptly-named breezy, melodic synth-dream-pop from London-based duo The 2 Bears, pictured right, it's just the type of song that washes over you while lying on a beach. It's a side project of Hot Chip's Joe Goddard with and Rafe Rundell, who also a Ministry of Sound Radio show entitled 'Follow The Bears.' They began as trio, The 3 Bears, with Metronomy's Joe Mount, but that was apparently one bear too many...
Their sound has been described as 'liquid-house-step', and 'pop-hip-house' - To me, it just sounds pretty....
Our Song of the Week, 'Warm and Easy,' has a sunny, low-budget video that matches image to sound quite nicely....Enjoy their other tune, the goofy 'Bear Hug,' another decidely low-budget but fun, mostly performance video filmed on the deck of a big boat, in the shiny summer sun....
